 p://www.csap.cam.ac.uk/events/cpp-seminar-sara-silvestri/signup/*\n\nIn th
 e wake of 9/11 and of the London bombings of 2005 public attention was qui
 ckly drawn to the threat of what has come to be defined “Islamist terror
 ism” and to the emergence of draconian counter-terrorism measures. Since
  then\, the so-called Prevent agenda has come under heavy criticism and th
 e dilemma of balancing security priorities with human rights provisions in
  the context of counter-terrorism and of a culturally and ethnically ever 
 more diverse society remains open.\n\nThis seminar will engage with these 
 issues from a novel perspective. Drawing on a large comparative historical
  project conducted by Dr Silvestri with a team of London-based researchers
  and sponsored by the ESRC\, this seminar will focus on the impact of coun
 ter-terrorism upon Irish and Muslim communities in the last four decades. 
 After highlighting continuities and variations both in security and in soc
 ial cohesion policies during that era\, it will evaluate their impact upon
  the lives of ordinary individuals who did not engage in political violenc
 e but who simply committed the crime of belonging to specific ethno-religi
 ous minorities in Britain.\n\n--------------------------------------------
 -----\n\nThese seminars aim to bring together a diverse range of individua
 ls from the humanities\, social and natural sciences to discuss the public
  policy implications of their work and research. Each talk will last 25-30
  minutes and will be followed by open discussion and run on Friday's in te
 rmtime 1-2pm.
