Emily Brynn Stacey

Emily Stacey is a Political Science professor. She successfully completed her dissertation defense in November 2016, and formally graduated with her doctorate in July 2017 from Swansea University (Wales, UK). Emily’s dissertation research focuses on the necessity of bureaucratization in contemporary social movements, namely those using digital technologies to mobilize and sustain dissent. She has participated in the Digital Methods Initiative at the University of Amsterdam (2013) and Oxford University’s Internet Institute Summer Doctoral Program (2014). Emily has published six works thus far, Combatting Internet-Enabled Terrorism (2017), which focuses on the use of digital technologies and the internet by terror organizations, with emphasis on the Islamic State. Emily’s second work, Nationalism, Social Movements, and Activism in Contemporary Society was published in 2018, and analyzes the rising tide of nationalist politics around the world, with emphasis on U.S. politics (the rise of the Tea Party, election of Donald Trump and juxtaposing that against the Black Lives Matter movement). The 2019 and 2020 books are updates to Combatting Internet-Enabled Terrorism and Nationalism, Social Movements, and Activism respectively. Emily has focused on deglobalization and the impending rebalance of power in the global community. Emily is an award-winning political science professor, who was recently awarded the DaVinci Institute’s highest honor as one of two fellows for 2023. You can follow Emily on Twitter at: @politikphd.
