Our lab’s director, Dr. Wendy Craig, and doctoral student Kyla Mayne, together with Dr. Michelle Searle and doctoral student Jennifer Thompson, are engaging with the community through a culturally responsive and equitable evaluation of the course Beyond the Screen: Understanding and Preventing Incel Radicalization of Male Youth. 

​

This evaluation team is supporting White Ribbon in their efforts to develop and deliver a new Incel Radicalization Prevention Program. The evaluation performance measures will be guided by specific indicators and priorities, including but not limited to: 

​

• Increased awareness of the Incel movement 

• Identifying signs of incel involvement 

• Knowledge about how to intervene effectively 

• Knowledge about preventing Incel engagement 

• Increased knowledge on importance of promoting healthy masculinities to prevent misogyny, violence, and hate 

• Increased knowledge about healthy dating relationships 

• Increased knowledge about healthy masculinities 

• Changed norms around males seeking help and debunking myths such as, only good-looking man can date, social justice and feminist efforts do not support men; toughness/coldness is a sin of manhood, asking for help is futile 

• Change in policies
