When an arrest is made in a terrorism case or, worst case scenario, we are doing a post-analysis of an attack, we often read about a person's 'radicalisation process'.  The assumption is that terrorists are made, not born, and that there are signs to look for before it is too late.  Borealis talks to Executive Director Myrieme Churchill of Parents4peace, an organisation that aims to help families identify and deal with these casesMyrieme Churchill is the Executive Director of Parents for Peace. She has over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist, working in variety of settings and with a range of populations in Europe and the U.S. Beginning her career in France, she intervened with first and second-generation North African immigrant sex workers on the streets of Marseille and facilitated group therapy in a juvenile detention center in Nice.Phil Gurski is the President and CEO of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting Ltd. and Programme Director for the Security, Economics and Technology (SET) hub at the University of Ottawa’s Professional Development Institute (PDI).

Quick Hits | Terrorism: Canadian Style Eh!

Everywhere you look these days terrorism and violent extremism dominate the headlines.  Whether you follow what is happening in Afghanistan or Iraq, or in the West writ large, we are inundated with news of attacks by groups and individuals fighting for a 'cause'.In a world of multiple voices and opinions it can be very hard to know where to turn.  One choice is to look to those who actually worked in counterterrorism in the national security world.  In these half-hour podcasts  30-year Canadian intelligence veteran Phil Gurski is joined by a fascinating array of individuals with something meaningful to say about these issues as they provide insight into what they mean and what we need to do about them.

Very very happy with this podcast. There is a serious lack of available podcasts that explore political violence and this one does a great job. 

Love when you bring in outside experts and get into history of groups. Hope this podcast remains a thing. 

Topics I’m hoping you explore more: women in terrorist groups, motivations for violence, suicide bombings, biographies of leaders

Great, much-needed podcast

A better understanding of terrorism requires that we look at a much wider set of information, like foreign affairs and foreign policy. Have a listen to me chatting with Twitch streamer Destiny on a broad range of topics all tied to terrorism (Iran, Israel-Palestine, and many more!)►Follow Destiny on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC554eY5jNUfDq3yDOJYirOQWhen it comes to talking about terrorism it is not enough to limit the discussion to specific terrorist groups or terrorist acts. Things are much more complicated than that. Terrorism does not occur in a vacuum: it exists in a context (or better: multiple contexts). Terrorism happens when multiple players make multiple moves on multiple chessboards: some of these moves provide terrorists with incentives.About Phil Gurski:Phil is the President and CEO of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting Ltd. and Programme Director for the Security, Economics and Technology (SET) hub at the University of Ottawa’s Professional Development Institute (PDI).

A better understanding of terrorism requires that we look at a much wider set of information, like foreign affairs and foreign policy. Have a listen to me chatting with <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/destiny" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twitch streamer Destiny</a> on a broad range of topics all tied to terrorism (Iran, Israel-Palestine, and many more!) ►Follow Destiny on Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC554eY5jNUfDq3yDOJYirOQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC554eY5jNUfDq3yDOJYirOQ</a>When it comes to talking about terrorism it is not enough to limit the discussion to specific terrorist groups or terrorist acts. Things are much more complicated than that. Terrorism does not occur in a vacuum: it exists in a context (or better: multiple contexts). Terrorism happens when multiple players make multiple moves on multiple chessboards: some of these moves provide terrorists with incentives.About Phil Gurski: <a href="https://borealisthreatandrisk.com/about-phil-gurski/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Phil</a> is the President and CEO of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting Ltd. and Programme Director for the Security, Economics and Technology (SET) hub at the University of Ottawa’s Professional Development Institute (PDI).
