Studying Online Violent Extremism: Methods, Personal Safety, and Ethics

In conjunction with Dr Audrey Gagnon, I organise a biannual PhD training workshop for PhD Students studying online violent extremism.

This workshop focused on methodologies, researcher wellbeing and safety, and ethics.

The workshop is held at the University of Oslo in partnership with C-REX and VOX-Pol.

Information about the 2025 workshop can be found here.
