On May 16th, 2024, the Faculty of Education, in collaboration with the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, McGill University Libraries, organized a book launch for Dr. Helal Hossain Dhali’s new book, The Role of Coloniality, Decoloniality, and Education in Shaping Perspectives on Extremism: Exploring Perceptions among Students in Bangladesh.<\/em> The book was recently published in March 2024 by Routledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Helal, a McGill alumnus, university faculty member, and a postdoctoral researcher at Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, is recognized for his dedication to education and social science research. His research predominantly focuses on marginalized individuals, exploited people, and those vulnerable to violence, conflicts, and extremism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his book, Dr. Dhali explores how various entities\u2014states, governments, political parties, institutions, groups, and individuals\u2014can exhibit and evolve extremist tendencies. The book challenges conventional definitions of extremism, offering a broader perspective on how such ideologies manifest. Furthermore, it presents a comprehensive educational model with practical recommendations for policymakers, educators, students, and other stakeholders in the educational sector. Although his research used the perspectives of Bangladeshi students as a model for his research, the author argues that the book can be helpful for any country suffering from any form of extremism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
