Researching the Far Right: Methods and Ethics

This webinar series, co-organized by RPRN, CASEI and C-REX, aims to facilitate a much needed discussion about the methodological, ethical, political, personal, practical and professional challenges that arise when researching the far right.

The topics addressed in the webinars from September 2024 onwards will be based on the volume 'The Ethics of Researching the Far Right: Critical Approaches and Reflections'. Previously, the webinar series was co-organized by C-REX and PERIL, and inspired by the volume ‘Researching the Far Right: Theory, Method and Practice’.

The webinars are moderated by Audrey Gagnon (C-REX), Aurelien Mondon (RNRP) and Aaron Winter (CASEI). The webinars will be held on the third Thursday of each month from 3-4:30pm CET/2-3:30pm BST.
