Webinar series - Researching the far right: method and ethics
C-REX (University of Oslo) and PERIL (American University) are co-organizing a webinar series called 'Researching the far right: methods and ethics'.
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 topics to be addressed in Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 are largely inspired by the forthcoming volume ‘Researching the Far Right: Theory, Method and Practice’ (Routledge, 2020) edited by Stephen Ashe, Joel Busher, Aaron Winter, as well as Graham Macklin from C-REX.
The webinars will last one hour and take place every second Thursday of the month between September 2020 and June 2021. The webinar will have one or two (short) presentations followed by a Q&A session.
