In these projects I leverage social media data to study the early stages of radicalization and participation in extremist movements. In one, I use geocoded videos uploads to explore the relationship between American military fatalities overseas and far-right mobilization. The other applies computer vision techniques to recruitment videos from groups within the Salafi Jihadi movement to study how different groups within a broader clandestine movement use rhetorical strategies to communicate to a broad pool of potential supporters.
