Recognizing a critical knowledge gap, the School of Governance and Society, University of Management and Technology took upon itself to initiate a structured course for “Understanding Terrorism and Counter-terrorism” last year on 19-23 January 2015.
The “Understanding, Managing and Resolution of Terrorism” course was second in the series of yearly courses being held by the university in collaboration with the Terrorism Research Initiative (TRI). These courses are designed to explore the entire range of issues related to terrorism, coupled with approaches in managing and resolving it.
The course concluded with six presentations by the six working groups of the participants, each attempting to analyze the phenomenon of terrorism and responses to it from a different perspective in the light of learning from the course. The Director of the Course, Prof. Muhammad Feyyaz gave a brief summary view of the course, its objectives, and how far the course was able to achieve them. Two prominent speakers, Dr. Afzal Ashraf from UK, and Dr. Richard Jackson from New Zealand expressed their impressions of the course and commended the UMT initiative. In the end, the Rector, University of Management and Technology, Dr. Hasan Sohaib Murad, individually distributed the certificates among all the course participants.
