Mariam Shalvashvili
At the beginning of the 2000s, the Western countries and Russia had
a common goal – to eradicate terrorism in a small region in (the
republic of) Georgia. Yet, the reality was more complicated and new
policies led to the stigmatisation and persecution of Muslim
communities. By using the case of Caucasus as an entry point, this
talk investigates the notions of securitisation and terrorism.
Mariam Shalvashvili is a social anthropology PhD candidate at Ilia
State University in Georgia. Mariam has worked as a researcher and
collaborator for several prominent Georgian NGOs and as an adjunct
lecturer at the Free University of Tbilisi. She has extensively
written about ethnic and religious minorities of Georgia.
