Hello and welcome to the Methods Café, a podcast series focusing on socio-legal research, brought to you by researchers at Swansea University, plus guests.

In S2E2 Sara interviews Dr Ashley Mattheis. Ashley is a scholar of communication, and her work brings together cultural studies, media studies, and visual rhetorical criticism, through the lens of feminist theory to explore the material effects of cultural production and consumption online. Her research areas include the digital cultures of the ‘Alt-Right’ and others, with a goal of better understanding how gendered logics are used to promote racial hate, discrimination, and violence. She is a member of the multi-disciplinary Cyber Threats Research Centre (CYTREC) at Swansea University.
