How should scholars of the far right navigate a predominantly white, male field, and engage with research subjects that embrace white- and male supremacy? This webinar aims to initiate a discussion on the challenges faced by female, trans*, and other researchers from marginalised groups, when researching the far right. We have the privilege of hosting four panellists who will discuss this topic, sharing their own experiences, thoughts, concerns, and strategies.
The panellists are:

Methods and ethics webinar series
This webinar is part of the series 'Researching the far right: methods and ethics', co-organized by C-REX and PERIL (American University).
This webinar series aims to initiate and facilitate a much needed discussion about the methodological, ethical, political, personal, practical and professional issues and challenges that arise when researching far right parties, protest movements, and violent actions.
The webinars last one hour and take place every second Thursday of the month. The webinar will have one or two (short) presentations followed by a Q&A session.
