Ashton Kingdon

I am the Online Tutor for the Global Landscape of Cybersecurity module.

I am a PhD candidate in Web Science at the University of Southampton and a doctoral fellow at the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right.

My research is interdisciplinary, combining criminology, history, and computer science to explore that ways in which extremists utilise technology for recruitment and radicalisation.

Although I specialise in countering terrorism and violent extremism, I also lecture in the areas of political and criminological theory, international relations, security studies, and cybercrime.

Since 2019, I have been a fellow at the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right, a UK-based research centre and pedagogical outreach initiative focused on the study and countering of radical right extremism and intersecting phenomena (e.g. populism, gender, antisemitism, Islamophobia).
