One week left to submit to our conference!

Dusted up the PhD hat to co-author a piece with @nsalem.bsky.social about everyone’s (least) favourite topic - #AI. First of (we don’t know how) many. Follow her tech timescapes stack for more of her work too. open.substack.com/pub/tedoex/p...

For @us.theguardian.com, I wrote about how Silicon Valley’s right-wing politics go back to the dotcom mania of the 1990s — and how they’re far more central to the tech industry than we’ve previously thought www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

Toby has programmed a stellar lineup of speakers at the CAMRI seminar this term! Looking forward to sharing thoughts and observations from an early-stage project on ESEA digital activism in the wake of covid-19. I'll be in conversation with the brilliant Diana Yeh. Please come by, all welcome!

"In the last few days, the twins were vibrant, bubbly, excited and full of dreams and ambitions. They constantly talked about their PhD study, jokingly calling each other Dr. Sally and Dr. Dalia, and talking about the things they want to do in Canada." 💔 kitchener.ctvnews.ca/university-o...

My latest for @niemanlab.org! The Mis/Disinformation Paradigm has proven insufficient for understanding and counteracting Trump's appeal. Journalism should embrace right-wing studies instead. www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/righ...

My apologies to Wicked (and Cynthia Erivo in particular) I was absolutely not familiar with your game

Last June, I was honoured to have @gavant.bsky.social serve as one of the examiners for my PhD viva. And tomorrow I'll get to (partly) return the favour as a respondent at the launch of his book, co-authored with @francescasobande.bsky.social & Anamik Saha. Come by if you're in Leeds! 📚💭

The last 2 pieces of our special Forum section of Political Communication are now out! @cindyxma.bsky.social argues that euphemistic labels and taking far-right reactionary claims at face value, affords respectability to positions rooted in white supremacy. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Proud to have organized this forum w/ friends @qrdknpfr.bsky.social and @dkreiss.bsky.social inspired by some big questions we’ve been asking about how to better define, theorize and study the far-right. We invited four incredible scholars working from different paradigms on this question to join us
