It was an absolute pleasure to participate in GNET's Annual Conference! I'm honoured to have been able to discuss extremism with such excellent panelists and to hear so many interesting discussions about how to study extremism online.
We were thrilled to have our third and final panel of speakers present on Multi-Media Radicalisation and the Online-Offline Extremism Nexus.
This panel covered an ideological range - from the far right, extremist misogyny and gaming, to the Islamic State.
Practical and innovative discussions are happening at the GNET Conference!
On Panel 2: The Researcher’s Toolkit, panellists discussed tools for P/CVE. It was fantastic to hear from TikTok, the READ database, and a new AI program used for positive intervention.
