You are invited to the next Challenging Racism Series Seminar, ‘The extreme political far-right in Poland: an analysis of leaders’ discourses and audience responses’.
Presented by the School of Social Sciences and Psychology, this talk is a work-in-progress focusing on how the discourse of the extreme political far-right in Poland resonates with the audience's responses.
Far-right movements have been gaining considerable public support in recent times in many Western democracies. The talk focuses on Poland, where extreme far-right political groups are even represented in the Parliament. Please see the attached document for more information about what will be discussed and presented as part of this seminar.
