Maddie Cannon is Project Manager for the Global Network on Extremism and Technology (GNET) at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR). Previously, she worked as the Programming Intern with Erin Saltman at the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) in London, and as a Research Intern for the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right (CARR). Maddie specialises in the far-right, exploring violent extremism in Europe and North America from a gendered and youth-centred perspective using an ethnographic approach.
She holds a first-class BA in Anthropology with French from the University of Sussex, and an MA in Anthropology and Cultural Politics (Distinction) from Goldsmiths, University of London.
The inaugural Eradicate Hate Summit was a truly impressive gathering of leaders dedicated to finding lasting and effective solutions to violent extremism. I was particularly moved by the prominence given to survivors and family members of victims of hate and violence throughout the event. Their stories and those of so many others must be at the center of what we do and why we do it.
