The Extreme Right Research Network are pleased to announce the formation of a new research seminar group. Following the success of our workshop ‘Resisting Radicalisation: Medievalism and the Extreme Right’ at the 2025 The Middle Ages in the Modern World (MAMO) conference, we are establishing this group to interrogate what role medievalism plays in radicalising people into extreme right spaces, and what role we – as educators and experts in the Middle Ages – can play in the vital work of combatting rising extremism.
We will have an introductory meeting in September to establish some collective intentions for the group, and we will intend to meet quarterly thereafter. Meetings will primarily be held online on Teams, but eventually we would hope to host some in person events too.
If you are interested in joining the group, contact Rachel Moss (rachel.moss@northampton.ac.uk).
