Abstract

This presentation examines the media literacy premises, practices, and objectives of a federally funded project currently underway at Boise State University. This cross-disciplinary project aims to establish a targeted violence prevention framework designed to improve local societal awareness of the process of radicalization to violence, increasing local individual resilience to recruitment narratives for hate and violence-based ideologies. An essential component of the grant project will be the training and deployment of a group of undergraduate students who will act as peer-to-peer social media influencers, educators, and researchers of our vulnerability to and potential interventions against the false and misleading information that comprise much of the recruitment messaging for extremist organizations.
