İstanbul Bilgi University, santralistanbul campus

 

We are happy to announce that we have completed our first PRIME Youth Workshop titled "Interdisciplinary Workshop on Youth Radicalization" at İstanbul Bilgi University santralistanbul campus on 13 November 2019. 

Our keynote speaker in the morning, Prof. Jocelyne Cesari made a presentation titled "A Sociological Perspective on Radicalization and Co-radicalization Processes in Europe” and she discussed the relations between deprivation and radicalisation through informing us about the dominant narratives surrounding radicalisation and co-radicalisation. Prof. Cesari's discussion focused on belief, belonging and boundaries and the significance of politicisation.

Our keynote speaker in the afternoon Prof. Emre Erdoğan made a presentation titled “Understanding the New Contagion of Public Protests: The Search for (Procedural) Justice is the Answer”. Prof. Erdoğan's speech focused on distributive and procedural justice and the value of emotions such as anger, and hope in public protest participation.
