Extremism

​In an extensive book review published in the journal YOUNG, Katrine Fangen offers a nuanced assessment of Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right, by Cynthia Miller-Idriss (Princeton University Press, 2020).

​Katrine Fangen, Professor at the University of Oslo and member of the PRIO project 'Reaching Out to Close the Border: The Transnationalization of Anti-Immigration Movements in Europe (MAM)' was recently interviewed in framtida.no on the role of female leaders in European right-wing movements (in Norwegian), arguing that it can be a strategic choice to put women in front of the movement both to soften the message and to appeal more to female voters.

​In a new article published in Migration Studies, Rojan Tordhol Ezzati examines expressions of unity through value-talk after terrorism in Norway (2011) and France (2015). The analysis examines television news in the two countries and shows that the way national leaders talk about 'our values' can either underline unity or further underline conflict.
