November 6, 2012
 
The Department of Psychology, School of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSS&H), arranged a seminar on “Psychology of Extremism: A Psychosocial Perspective”. Dr Shahzad Shafqat was the guest speaker. The seminar began with the recitation of the Holy Quran followed by a welcome note by Prof Dr Iftikhar Ahmed, Head, Department of Psychology. Prof Dr Abdul Hameed, Dean SSS&H, graced the occasion with his presence along with the faculty of social sciences.

During his lecture, Dr Shahzad Shafqat highlighted that context is very important in order to comprehend the general analysis of our understanding of extremism. A series of exclusive studies conducted for this research across different methodological strengths in psychology was presented. Finally, findings from these studies were crystallized towards providing a platform for furthering the discourse on extremism.

The findings open new frontiers, given that they digress from the existing mainstream approach employed in research on extremism. This was followed by a question and answer session.
