The Contrarian x PERIL – Policy and Advocacy in Preventing Hate

Young adults and children are increasingly exposed to hateful, extremist ideology online. Although it seems impossible to combat the overwhelming flood of harmful material disseminated through the algorithms, not all hope is lost! Seth Limmer, the Director of Public Affairs at the Polarization & Extremism Research & Innovation Lab (PERIL), joins Jen to explain why.

Limmer walks Jen through the mission of PERIL to equip individuals with the mental and emotional resilience to navigate through the muddy waters of the internet, recognize manipulative tactics, and support one another. Additionally, PERIL is working with state and local governments to build infrastructure and support systems that fortify communities against extremism.
