PERIL is a research organization creating evidence-based tools to reduce political polarization and disinformation. Through community-level, national, and international partnerships, PERIL offers evidence-based intervention strategies to address polarization and violence.
Our organizational focus ranges from media literacy training and work with state and local governments to intervention approaches with youth, parents, and community leaders.
PERIL develops empirically tested resources and interventions to reduce the threats of harmful online and offline polarization and radicalization to supremacist ideologies, misogyny, moral disengagement, propaganda, mis- and disinformation, and conspiracy theories.
PERIL applies pre-preventative frameworks that focus on community-centered approaches and support for victim-survivors to build social cohesion and democratic resilience.
PERIL provides practical solutions for educators, caregivers, and community leaders to identify speech and behaviors that pose risks to democratic groups. Rather than mitigation strategies, PERIL focuses on preventative strategies to reduce the likelihood of violent behavior before it occurs.
Examples of these tools and strategies can be found in the highlight reel below and are categorized by each of PERIL’s initiatives: TRED, ERIS, and PERIL Global.
PERIL engages with numerous organizations that share its mission to reduce polarization, hate, and disinformation. Click here to view our partnerships page.
