The Motivations of Terrorism | Charlotte Heath-Kelly | TEDxWarwickSalon

This talk will explore the motivations of terrorism, as identified through Charlotte's interviews with members of EOKA (a terrorist organization based in Cyprus). Charlotte is an Associate Professor and Researcher of the Politics and International Studies Department of the University of Warwick. Her research themes include post-disaster reconstruction; critical security studies and critical terrorism studies; and counterterrorism in the UK and USA.

Currently, Charlotte is the Principal Investigator on the Leverhulme Trust project titled “The Political Life of Rubble: Bombsite Relics and Cosmopolitan Identity.” The project explores the way bombsite objects afford a symbolic status as relics across time, from the World War II to the War on Terror. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
