Research: Brandon Rigato

PhD candidate Brandon Rigato and his supervisor, Communication Prof. Sandra Robinson, are involved in a SSHRC-funded research project that examines digital media and the alt-right. Specifically, they are looking at hate propaganda and disinformation about multiculturalism, immigration, race and gender and how it undermines minority rights and culture. Rigato’s expertise in data methodology has helped overcome many of the obstacles associated with this research.
