About Eliora Riebling
I’m Eliora Riebling, a sociologist. As a Laidlaw Scholar I research white supremacist trajectories, specifically I am looking to identify a combination of social factors that shape women’s mindsets and prompt them to join organized white supremacy. I hope to identify impetuses for women’s participation in this extremism. As a leadership project I intend to contribute to counter messaging and deradicalization programs. I hope to use my findings to inform which messages are useful to the initiatives that weaken white supremacist organizations by preventing and sinking their membership.
