Hi
Amidst an ‘infodemic’ of false or misleading information in the online domain, Australia has witnessed a rise in far-Right politics, conspiracy thinking and movements such as QAnon and militant wellness in recent years.
For this RSA Webinar, Dr Vivian Gerrand will share insights from her research into these forms of radicalisation, providing an understanding of the grievances underpinning them, the scale of the challenge that they pose to society and what can be done to counter them.
Dr Gerrand is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Deakin University. She was a chief investigator on the Horizon 2020 Building Resilience to Violent Extremism and Polarisation (2019-21) Project.
