Vidhya Ramalingam
Vidhya first started talking to white nationalists 15 years ago. After conducting ethnographic fieldwork with far right movements, she was tapped to lead the European Union’s first inter-governmental initiative to fight far-right terrorism. In this role, she traveled across the globe working with tech companies, governments and activists to set up efforts to deradicalize and disengage individuals at-risk of violent extremism. A pioneer in the field, she has headlined SXSW and TED, advises Heads of State and regularly testifies before the U.S. Congress on terrorism prevention.
Ross Frenett
Ross grew up with a fascination with understanding terrorism, which took him from interviewing IRA prisoners to shadowing Hezbollah in a Lebanese war zone. He went on to partner with Google to build the world’s first global network of former extremists and survivors of terrorism, designed to counter terrorism through deradicalization and strategic communications efforts. In 2020, he was appointed co-leader of the Communication & Narratives Working Group of the European Union Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN). A native of County Cork, Ross is a former member of the Irish Defence Forces.
