Jillian Hunchak (she/they) works as a research analyst at Public Safety Canada. She specializes in gender-based violence, including the Involuntary Celibate (Incel) movement and violence against 2SLGBTQI+ persons and communities, in addition to the far-right, conspiracy theories, and mis/dis/malinformation.
Jillian received her MA in Terrorism, Security, and Society from King’s College London in 2018, and integrates her background in Anthropology to center cultural contexts, intersectionalities, and social dynamics in her research. Prior to joining the Canada Centre, she is fortunate to have worked with think-tanks including Moonshot, Insight Threat Intelligence, and the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR), conducting open-source research on a wide variety of extremist movements.
The Eradicate Hate Global Summit brings together scholars, practitioners, civil society organizations, and policymakers from around the world to share best practices and lessons learned, based on data and empirical evidence, in countering hate-fueled extremism and violent narratives. No other summit, conference, or workshop brings together such an extraordinary group of world-class talent focused on dealing with the issue of hate-fueled violent extremism.
