Hi there. I am a published extremism researcher and security analyst looking for work opportunities. Will similar opportunities open up with a focus on the US / Europe? I have 30 pieces of published research and I am experienced at researching the far-right and extremist online ecosystems. Thank you

Pleased to have contributed my comments for Dawn News on the use of online platforms to enable and facilitate militancy in Pakistan. I thank Zia Ur Rehman for inviting my insights.

NAP at 10: Assessing Pakistan’s response post-APS
The state fought hard in the wake of the tragedy. But how did it do in the non-kinetic aspects of what was promised?

Even more so… digital spaces that facilitate or harbor fantastical worlds like video games and anime are manifestations of Geist. That is, they are explorations of the self, of the world, of history…

Great piece by @joshuabowes.bsky.social on how the far right appropriates anime aesthetics and sometimes the wider subcultures of anime fandom.

A really interesting read, that hints at the potential correlative appeal to loneliness between fan service in anime and the extreme right.

After months of thinking about anime and extremism, I'm pleased to share my latest work for the Global Network on Extremism & Technology (GNET).

Outstanding work by @joshuabowes.bsky.social, an up-and-coming extremism scholar. Ties together Gamergate, anime, chan culture, idealization of Japan as an ethnostate, and far-right ideology.
