Welcome to the 2nd Nordic Conference on research on violent extremism. 

#NordicExtremism

This seminar is for members of the Network for young researchers on extremism - NEXT.

Following decades of division, leading parties from the populist radical right are now co-operating at the European level to push their key policies and oppose the EU.

Welcome to a lecture by professor Rogers Brubaker from University of California, Los Angeles. The lecture is followed by a panel debate.

The ECPR Standing Group on Extremism & Democracy, the Centre for Research on Extremism (C-REX), and the Centre on Social Movement Studies (COSMOS) invite applications for the upcoming Summer School on ‘Concepts and Methods for Research on Far-Right Politics’, which will be held at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Florence, Italy, from Monday 25 to Friday 29 June 2018.

This two-day workshop aims to bring together distinguished scholars from different scholarly fields to examine the various intersections of gender in extremist movements. Our aim is to better understand how notions of gender identities, values, norms and behaviours frame views and ideologies. We aim to examine the roles of men and women alike, and the extent to which gendered norms and values become an axis for differing political identifications, and outcomes.

Professor Kathleen Blee and professor Michael Kimmel lectures on the relations between Gender and Extremism.

Professor Cynthia Miller-Idriss, American University Washington, presents how extremism is going mainstream through clothing brands laced with racist and nationalist symbols.
