Calling for Book Chapters: Far-Right Extremism, Social Media, and Disinformation
Greetings, A few colleagues from the Canadian Institute for Far-Right Studies (CIFRS <https://www.cifrs.org/>) and I are calling for book chapters for the edited volume we're working on (titled "Alternative Truths: The Power of Social Media and Disinformation in Far-Right Fascism"). This volume examines how the far-right movement uses alternative media (e.g., Gab and Truth Social) alongside mainstream platforms like Facebook and X/Twitter, and how this impacts the public by spreading disinformation and fostering acceptance of fascist ideologies. Themes include (but are not limited to): - The Role of Social Media in Far-Right Movements - Disinformation and the Social Media Ecosystem - Alternative Media, Social Media Algorithms, and Echo Chambers - Alternative Media and Anti-Intellectualism - Alternative Media and Polarizing Identities in the Far-Right Politics - Counteracting Disinformation in Social Media - Radicalization Theories in Digital Spaces - Global Perspectives on Digital Media and the Far-Right - Ethics, Regulation, and the Future of Alternative Media *You can find more information at the following* link: https://www.sssp1.org/file/Announcements/CallForPapers-OtherOrganizations/CF... The abstract is due on *May 25th.* Best, Kat Fuller
