Dear,
The Atlantic Initiative is organizing two webinars entitled ‘Expert Conversation: Talking about Recruitment, Radicalization and New Threats’, conducted as part of the project ‘Research on the Negative Effects of Reciprocal Radicalizations’, funded by the Norwegian Embassy in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The first webinar will be held on April 21, 2021 from 11:00 to 13:30, CET entitled ‘Gender, Radicalization and Recruitment’. The panel will discuss topics related to internet radicalization and how ‘memes’ on Instagram and Facebook are used in the creation of radical groups’ propaganda. They will also discuss findings on how right-wing groups use their female members to gain new recruits through social media. A third discussion will cover male supremacy, online misogyny, and the global Right.
