Although much is now known about how people are radicalised by online content, far less is understood about when and how online engagement becomes offline violence. Liv will present a programme of research identifying the online cues that signal a move from consuming radical content to taking violent action, including the role of influencers in building narratives that justify violence, and will reflect on the methodological and ethical challenges of this work.
