  • Current Research

    My current research concerns radical political subcultures online, which I explore through "digital methods" in affiliation with researchers at the Open Intelligence Lab and the Digital Methods Initiative.   

    I have given recent talks on new-right "conspiracism" and "the deep vernacular web" at De Balie (Amsterdam, NL), the IMPAKT festival (Utrecht, NL) and the Centre for Investigative Journalism (London, UK).

    Recent publications can be found herehereherehereherehere and here.
