Biography
Natalie Alkiviadou is Senior Research Fellow at the Future of Free Speech at Vanderbilt University, USA. Her research interests lie in the freedom of expression, the far right, hate speech, hate crime and non-discrimination.
“In the coming years, important regulations for major online platforms will likely arise from Council of Europe member states. European Court of Human Rights rulings will shape a complex global jurisprudence on online speech. Natalie Alkiviadou deserves praise for pioneering scholarship in this challenging and evolving field.”
— Eric Heinze, Professor of Law and Humanities, Queen Mary University of London, UK.
“This important book presents an incisive analysis of the decisions concerning hate speech under the European Convention on Human Rights, offering a constructive critique of the case law’s historic trajectory. In our interconnected world, the book’s insightful analysis should inform debates far beyond Europe.”
— Nadine Strossen, John Marshall Harlan II Professor of Law Emerita, New York Law School, USA
