In this double-length episode of the Combating Jihadist Terror podcast, Dr Richards speaks to Professor Maura Conway. Their discussion begins with a look at classifying extremists and terrorists, they then examine to what extent academics and policymakers should be using the term ‘cyberterrorism”. Finally, Professor Conway expands on her views of how to further research into online extremism, as well as how gender should be used within academic discussions on extremism. Dr Maura Conway is Professor of International Security in the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University in Dublin, Ireland and Coordinator of VOX-Pol, an EU-funded project on violent online political extremism.
