Jade Hutchinson

Dr Jade Hutchinson is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Security Studies at Charles University in the Czech Republic and an internationally recognised expert on far-right extremism and online youth radicalisation serving as a grant researcher at Macquarie University. Dr Hutchinson’s research focuses on the intersections of online extremism, sociotechnical systems, and socioemotional harm. His work examines how digital media platforms shape the pathways through which young people – particularly boys and men – engage with online extremist content, and how these platforms facilitate grievance-based, misogynist, or conspiratorial ideologies. His approach integrates digital media analysis, behavioural science, socioecological and developmental frameworks to understand and prevent online radicalisation to violence. Jade regularly works with international partners across academia, policy, and tech in Australia, Canada, and Europe to develop evidence-based, multi-stakeholder strategies for addressing online harms and promoting digital media resilience.
