Linda Schlegel is a Research Fellow at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) in the Research Department Transnational Politics and at modus Centre for Applied Research on Deradicalization. She serves as co-project leader of the RadiGaMe project since 2023 and is a founding member of the Extremism and Gaming Research Network (EGRN). Schlegel also holds membership in the Expert Pool of the Radicalisation Awareness Networks (RAN) since 2022 and is part of the European Expert Network on Terrorism Issues (EENeT) since 2025. Her educational background includes a PhD from Goethe University Frankfurt/M. (completed 2020-2023), an M.A. in Extremism Studies from King's College London (2016-2017), and a B.A. in Liberal Arts from University College Maastricht (2012-2015). Schlegel's research centers on the intersection of gaming and extremism, with particular focus on how digital gaming platforms facilitate radicalization processes and how narrative campaigns can counter extremist messaging. Her work explores the gamification of extremist content, user behavior in gaming environments, and the development of positive interventions within gaming communities. She has pioneered research on how fictional storytelling can enhance the effectiveness of counter-extremism narrative campaigns, arguing that fantasy elements increase persuasive impact in digital P/CVE efforts. Analyzing her publication trajectory reveals a clear evolution from theoretical explorations of online radicalization processes toward practical interventions in gaming spaces. Her early work examined foundational concepts like 'user types' in digital radicalization processes and the role of perceived self-efficacy in radicalization. More recently, her research has shifted toward actionable strategies, including toolkits for practitioners, positive gaming interventions, and policy recommendations for gaming platforms. A consistent thread throughout her work is the emphasis on narrative approaches to counter extremist messaging in digital spaces. Schlegel leads significant research initiatives including the RadiGaMe project on radicalization processes on gaming platforms and messenger services. She has provided policy advice to the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, the European Commission's Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalization, and the Radicalisation Awareness Network. Her work bridges academic research with practical counter-extremism efforts, particularly through her involvement with GIFCT working groups focused on gaming communities. She is actively engaged with multiple research networks including ACONA, ANCIP, CBWNet, and the Leibniz Cooperations. Schlegel co-founded the Extremism and Gaming Research Network to specifically address the nexus between gaming culture and extremist activities, recognizing gaming platforms as emerging spaces for both radicalization and prevention efforts.
