"Researching Online Extremism and Terrorism" with Elizabeth Pearson

Stage Talks with Bellingcat

This week we talk to Elizabeth Pearson. Together with her colleagues she recently worked on the REASSURE report (https://voxpol.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Online-Extremism-and-Terrorism-Researchers-Security-Safety-Resilience.pdf )- which is published with the online extremism and terrorism research network VOX-Pol. The report describes experiences regarding safety and security of researchers who work on digital extremism and terrorism. We explored her learnings and took questions from the audience.

The talk was hosted by Merel Zoet on Thursday October 10th 2024. Music featured is courtesy of Artlist.
