Framing and Narrative Strategies of the Islamic Republic's Political Elite Across Audiences
Born out of informal talks with members of the US Department of State in Washington DC, this project examines the kind of framing and narrative strategies utilised by the Islamic Republic’s political elite through a rigorous analysis of content both in English and Farsi. Whilst it refrains from criminalising any actor involved - preserving the apolitical and non-politicised spirit of the research - this study wishes to enhance discussion on disinformation in Iran and beyond.

Terrorist Threats Targeting Cultural Heritage - Mapping Drivers and Trends of Terror Crimes against Cultural Heritage
Born out of informal cooperation with members of UNCTED, this project looks at the protection of cultural heritage vis-Ã -vis acts of terrorism.

The Rise of the Far-Right in Europe -
Mapping Groups, Narratives, and Trends in Europe’s Far-Right Landscape
Born out of informal talks with members of the US Department of States in Washington DC and Honolulu, this project offers an overview of far-right movements in six European countries and Russia. While it refrains from criminalising legitimate political dissent, this report wishes to shed light upon those dynamics illustrating the rise of fairly anti-democratic narratives, which, ultimately, may hamper US interests in Europe.
