There’s a group of far right influencers lurking on your social media feeds. They post organic recipes, millennial mom advice, and #glowups.

Her research specializes in the global far-right, gender, and online radicalization, recruitment, and propaganda. Her latest book, The Women of the Far Right: Social Media Influencers and Online Radicalization, is published by Columbia University Press.
