Some of us at www.atmoct.org submitted evidence for a report by the Independent Commission on UK Counterterrorism law, policy and practice, published today and calling for a overhaul of UK counterterrorism. Its recommendation to revise the UK definition of terrorism is partly based on our research on everyday experiences of terrorism.

🖊️and it resulted in an interdisciplinary, international book forum with four other scholars, now published in the journal Political Geography, and available online for free:
