Cas Mudde is a celebrated scholar of populism and extremism in European party systems. His work on the topic precedes the recent surge of support far right parties have seen across many Western democracies. In this talk, Mudde will discuss how the study of the far right has evolved over his academic career, and how changes in the field have intersected with changes in real world electoral politics, including the rise of populism.
This event has been generously supported by a new funding program provided by CES to support activities organized by graduate student affiliates.
