William Stephens is a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration.  His research addresses social-educative approaches to preventing violent extremism. In particular, he is examining local approaches to building resilience in young people that have emerged, and the possibilities and constraints created by the policy and social contexts in which these take place. Alongside his research, William spends much of his time working alongside groups of youth engaged in efforts for constructive social change in different neighbourhoods in the Netherlands. The insights he gains from many hundreds of young people in these different communities inspires and gives purpose to his research.
