Zoe Manzi

Senior Analyst, Hate & Extremism

Zoe Manzi is a Senior Hate & Extremism Analyst at ISD UK. Her research focuses on the intersection between far-right extremism, targeted hate, disinformation and online harms, with a particular focus on gendered dynamics and transnational influence operations. Her work on Northern Ireland examines contemporary loyalism, its links with the wider far right, and the role of online mobilisation in anti-migrant hostility. Her recent research also explores the convergence of online misogyny, anti-government and far-right mobilisation and the hybridisation of traditional movements with contemporary online subcultures. She contributes to practitioner engagement, supporting law enforcement and policymakers in developing evidence-based responses to digital extremism and societal polarisation across Europe and the Five Eyes countries.
