The VOX-Pol Blog publishes weekly articles on the topic of online extremism and terrorism. This year’s VOX-Pol Blog posts have covered issues with a global reach, such as incels, the far right, disinformation, online regulations, and platforms.
The Blog also covered research-related concerns such as researcher welfare and interdisciplinary collaboration. This year we featured four book reviews, a five-part series on The Base, and articles in French and German.
The Blog publishes new articles weekly on Wednesdays and takes a break in August, when we share the most read of the previous year. Click to see the most-read posts of the year from 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018. We are pleased to share the most read from academic year 2022/2023:
