Brief break from bleak posting about fascism to introduce my new friend, Zoey. She is the most tiny, sweet, and beautiful creature. She shows affection by hiding and then attacking suddenly without warning. Banana for scale

My chapter looks at ethical considerations in sharing stories of disengagement from hate groups...something I've thought a lot about and that needs to be considered further, especially in terms of unintended impacts involved in messaging "the many" to reach "the few"

The Ethics of Researching the Far Right is out today! So excited to share this great new resource for researchers who want to bring a critical eye to work on understanding the far-right and think through how to do the research ethically, from a position of solidarity with those most impacted
