Join Emily Lynell Edwards, Ph.D., as she discusses her book, Digital Islamophobia: Tracking A Far-Right Crisis (De Gruyter, 2023) which explores far-right, anti-Muslim networks on Twitter and how these communities grow, develop, and circulate hate-speech. Digital Islamophobia details how far-right politics are increasingly transnationalized among American, German, Indian and Nigerian users and provides policy-makers, researchers, and scholars with a potential road-map to stem the tide of online extremism.
