How can research on topics surrounding radicalization, extremism, and terrorism be safe and socially sustainable? - PRIF BLOG Research on extremism and related phenomena such as radicalization or terrorism is emotionally demanding and can even become dangerous, in part because it frequently means engaging with intense, and at times violent, societal conflict. The most recent escalation in the Israel-Palestine conflict is a poignant example of this, in which researchers specialized in antisemitism, Islamophobia, or Islamist and right-wing extremism are expected to keep up with fast-paced developments while simultaneously navigating the emotional impact of unfolding violence. This blog post highlights the difficulties researchers face in this field and proposes suggestions for addressing these challenges at the institutional and structural levels.

In our @radis-forschung.de @prif.org blog post, Mona KlΓΆckner, Manjana Sold, and I outline ongoing discussions surrounding ethics and safety in extremism and terrorism studies and propose suggestions for addressing these issues in the German context: blog.prif.org/2024/02/08/h...

Look to the mainstream to explain the rise of the far right Extremists are not β€˜capturing’ our systems – they are part of them.

We too often view the far right as an outsider – something separate from ourselves and distinct from our norms and mainstream. This ignores deeply entrenched structural inequalities and forms of oppression core to our societies.

Recently, the UK passed its very own comprehensive platform regulation, the Online Safety Act.

Yet, after a closer look, many standards appear vague and future implementation murky.
