• Symposium to be held at Sunley Management Centre Park Campus, University of Northampton
• Keynote lecture by Professor Nigel Copsey
• Featuring panels from: National Coordinator for Domestic Extremism (NCDE) & Hope not Hate
• With academic analysis by: Dr Matthew Feldman, Dr Paul Jackson & Dr Graham Macklin

Far-right ideologies revel in diagnoses of both national and global crisis. Yet they also give clear shape and form to this sense of crisis by developing localised interpretations of their grievances. Examining the synthesis of the global and the local, this one-day symposium brings together public-facing academic analysis with a range of front-line practitioners. Building on the one-day symposium Fascist Radicalism and the New Media, Think Global, Hate Local will allow a variety of expert voices to explore relationships between extremist critiques of global politics and localised pockets of far-right extremism.

Presentations will focus on a variety of far-right organisations in Britain, from the English Defence League and the British National Party to extreme right-wing vanguard movements. The role of new media, and especially the links between online and offline behaviour, will be examined by speakers. Networking opportunities will be combined with keynote talks and panel discussions at this fully catered, one-day event.
