Countering Online Violent Extremism
The Countering Online Violent Extremism Research (COVER) Program is a hub of multi-disciplinary research activity dedicated to understanding the phenomenon of radicalization – online and in other forms. We are developing effective ways to counter the process and aim for practical outcomes from our research. We have a focus on social media as a tool for radicalisation and countering violent extremism (CVE). We also research in the area of civil society movements and their roles in CVE. The use of victim/survivor and former terrorist narratives bring these research interests together.
