Charlottesville, VA, October 27, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Leading Researcher on radicalization focuses on female motivations

Dr. Bina Patel, leading women’s studies researcher, recently spoke at the Third International Symposium on Teaching about Extremism, Terror and Trauma at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.

Dr. Patel’s presentation, "Psychology of Female Violence" focused on the contributing elements to female martyrdom, including, gender oppression, religion, and postpartum depression. Dr. Patel spoke in depth on the impact of postpartum depression, in conjunction with personal trauma that enables radicalization to be a successful, transformative process. The transformative process that alters an individual from believing in extreme ideologies to acting upon them is conceptualized by personal neurocognitive behavior and psychology in women who become successful suicide bombers. Dr. Patel’s presentation resulted in a robust engagement between the panelists and audiences regarding the impact of neuroscience on female suicide terrorism.

The TETT symposia strive to create transformative invited space in which conversations around extremism, terrorism, radicalization, and counter-radicalization took place with an aim for interchange of ideas between those who see (general public) and those who decide (policy makers); between those who speak (academic, politicians, media) and those who are silent (youth, communities at large) so that an authentic counter-hegemonic, counter-extremism critical public pedagogy can start to take root.
