📢Excited to share our latest publication in Communication Theory, in which we propose a novel conceptualization of the #mainstreaming of radical and extremist ideologies into society's core. 📖✨ Sophia Rothut hs Diana Rieger Brigitte Naderer 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/ct/qta… A 🧵1/5

2/5 Through a systematic review of 143 studies, our paper conceptualizes mainstreaming as an iterative, gradual, multi-layered process consisting of two steps (content positioning, susceptibility) and incorporating several sub-processes.

3/5 With this, we offer a new framework for understanding how radical and extremist ideas infiltrate mainstream discourse. Our paper highlights the importance of recognizing mainstreaming as a strategic effort by radical and extremist actors to subtly shift public discourse.

4/5 The conceptual model, as well as the 12 mainstreaming factors, can aid researchers, policymakers, and the public in monitoring mainstreaming dynamics and combating the subtle integration of extremist narratives into the center of society. #prevention

5/5. Thanks for following along! We're always looking to engage, share, and collaborate to address the challenges posed by the mainstreaming of extremism. Let's continue the conversation and work toward a more informed, resilient, and inclusive society. 🤝🌍
