  years after 9/11, policies to control and disrupt the financial sources 
 of terrorist organizations are considered a key aspect of combatting terro
 rist organizations. To prevent and deter support for terrorist activities\
 , countries are obliged by international law to monitor financial transact
 ions and to prosecute those who engage in financing terrorist organization
 s and/or individuals. Financing terrorism as defined under international l
 aw, however, is a broad offence, criminalizing a range of activities (f
 undraising, donating, transferring). How are banks able to distinguish a
  mundane financial transaction from funding terrorist organizations? And h
 ow do courts assess whether individuals conduct such transactions with a t
 errorist intent? In this lecture, Dr. Tasniem will discuss how counter-te
 rrorism financing is done in practice, focusing specifically on the use o
 f financial technology and intelligence. Departing from a critical perspec
 tive, the discussion will pay attention to how countering terrorism finan
 cing practices are heavily influenced by racist and Islamophobic assumptio
 ns on financiers. Based on research in the context of European states coun
 tering terrorism financing, Tasniem shows how these practices impact the 
 Muslim community and civil society organizations more broadly.Bio: Dr. Tas
 niem Anwar is Assistant Professor at the Department of Criminology at the 
 Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She conducted her PhD on the prosecution of 
 terrorism financing at the department of political science at the Universi
 ty of Amsterdam. The findings are published in academic journals including
  Security Dialogue and the Journal of Law and Society. Her current researc
 h interests include: counter-terrorism financing, terrorism trials, and 
 emerging security technologies for countering terrorism. She is co-conveno
 r of the webinar series ‘Decolonising Europe’ and the Doing IPS seminar se
 ries in the Netherlands. \n\nContact Information: \n Institute of Islamic
