Teaching About Terrorism

Teaching About Terrorism is a 2009/10 research project funded by C-SAP, one of the Higher Education Academy's subject networks. The project aims to research the extent and nature of teaching about terrorism in UK Universities, primarily in the disciplines of Sociology, Politics and Criminology.

The project will:

• Survey the extent and nature of teaching about terrorism across the UK Higher Education sector in three related disciplines.
• Analyse patterns of provision and quality and best practice markers.
• Examine selected cases of challenges in teaching about terrorism.
• Examine selected cases of ‘best practice’ in teaching about terrorism.
• Construct a guide to the range of terrorism studies in the UK.
• Provide guidance to the HE community on how to handle challenges and promote best practice.
