Content and aims: The course focuses on understanding the rise of “anti-gender” movements and sentiments emerging from the rise of populist and far right ideologies/groups. The workshop will examine how the “anti-gender” discourse is constructed and mobilised as well as recent attacks on academic freedom, especially in the field of gender. Dr. Paternotte will also discuss and critique the notion of populism. Dr. Massanari will focus on these phenomena in online environments, specifically dealing with online misogyny and its intersections with the alt-right. The workshop welcomes PhD students in social sciences and humanities interested in these topics.
