This week Bellingcat's Michael Colborne and Pooja Chaudhuri joined us to share their experience of using network analysis techniques to study transnational hate groups. We spent the hour discussing useful research tips and exploring the wider context of how these types of groups operate.

The talk was hosted by Charlotte Maher on September 3rd 2026. Music featured is courtesy of Artlist.
