Wednesday, October 12 and Thursday, October 13, 8:30am-1pm, this on-line event requires advance registration
Bringing together scholars, policy makers and practitioners from around the world, this symposium will analyze the roots and understand the reach of the far-right in the United States. The goal of this symposium is to facilitate learning and collaboration to support the identification of strategies to stop the spread and break the hold of broadly defined far-right movements in our political and social systems.
As part of this endeavor, we have set out to examine topics like the historical roots of white supremacy in the U.S., the process of radicalization, the mechanisms of ideological spread, and the growing legitimacy of far-right ideologies due to its permeation through many aspects of our daily lives.
Scholars will present their research in panels, taking questions from the audience; followed by practitioners and policymakers leading conversations that put scholarship into practice.
The symposium will conclude with a final panel that will invite the presenters, responders, and audience to brainstorm ways in which we can all challenge, in our own ways and in our own corners of the world, the far-right movement.
