Zusammenfassung & Show Notes

In the last few years, the rise of right-wing populist and right-wing extremist parties, politicians, movements, and groups has become a common phenomenon, contributing to the spread of far-right discourse and attitudes. And it’s getting worse, as we currently see in Germany, Austria, the U.S. etc.
A research group at ZiF has worked on this topic for two years under the title “Normalizing the Far Right”. In this episode, which is to be understood in the context of the last episode on this subject with Paula Diehl and Birgit Sauer, various fellows from different scientific backgrounds and with different research foci answer questions around the topic of normalization of right-wing positions.
