Sponsored by the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism and the Whitney Humanities Center, the mission of the workshop is to bring together interdisciplinary scholarship on subjects related to the transnational far right, broadly conceived, with the focus on giving faculty and graduate students a forum to present works in progress and receive feedback from across disciplinary boundaries.
Topics include but are not limited to political extremism, political violence (both state and non-state), white nationalism, fascism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, misogyny/male supremacy, LGBTQ-phobia, conspiracy theories, media and digital media, antifascism, anti-racism, and resistance movements.
