In the wake of Islamic State's attacks on Beirut and Paris, experts examine the terrorist group's endgame and motivations in the latest Big Idea Podcast. This podcast is part of the Big Idea series, a monthly show featuring academics discussing contemporary issues and sharing their research and expertise. As well as being an accessible way for the public to hear about the University’s work, the Big Idea is also a forum for academics to meet colleagues from different areas, share ideas, and gain media training in a studio setting. Dr Ralston talks in the latest podcast explaining the role that religion plays in IS's worldview and how the organisation's emotive propaganda is used to recruit combatants.
