Welcome to a seminar where Anton Törnberg (University of Gothenburg) and Petter Törnberg (University of Amsterdam) present and discuss their research.
Anton Törnberg is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Work Science at the University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden. His research chiefly focuses on far-right movements online, particularly radicalization processes and violent extremism, by combining computational methods with qualitative approaches. He is currently involved in a research project that addresses the far right online and the interplay between online discourses and offline action.
Petter Törnberg is Assistant Professor of computational social science, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In addition to his work at the University of Amsterdam, Petter Törnberg holds appointments at the University of Neuchâtel, Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and is Associate Professor of Complex Systems at Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology. His concerns revolve around how digital technology is reshaping our politics, media, and cities. He uses computational methods and digital data to examine the consequences of datafication, platformization, and AI from a critical perspective.
