The inter-faculty team of Sigmund Freud Private University submitted the UNMASC project (Uncovering Trauma-Driven Masculinities: An Innovative Analysis of Gender Roles to Promote Societal Dialogue for Countering Radical, Anti-Democratic Narratives in Europe) as lead partner of an international consortium of renowned research institutes, universities, academies of sciences and an artistic institution known for its participatory methods.
The partners from 12 different countries will analyse the research topic of the correlation between radicalisation and masculinity using mixed methods and applying a multidisciplinary, trauma-informed methodology based on psychotherapy, sociology, political science, law and artistic expression. UNMASC will provide evidence-based insights on trauma as risk factor on radicalisation in Central and Eastern Europe and besides relevant policy recommendations will design an innovative toolkit for critical change processes in the society.
