Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Movement

Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Movement:
Book Presentation with Elżbieta Korolczuk

Opposition to „gender“ has become a key element of the rise of right-wing populism, which successfully harnesses the anxiety, shame and anger caused by neoliberalism and threatens to destroy liberal democracy. Elżbieta Korolczuk and Agnieszka Graff offer a novel conceptualisation of the relationship between the ultraconservative anti-gender movement and right-wing populist parties, mapping the anti-gender campaigns as a global movement, putting the Polish case in comparative perspective. 

Elżbieta Korolczuk is an associate professor in sociology at Södertörn University (Stockholm); she also teaches at the Gender Studies Centre at Warsaw University and the Institute for Advanced Study, Political Critique in Warsaw. Her research involves: social movements, civil society, politics of reproduction and anti-gender campaigns. Her latest publication, co-authored with Agnieszka Graff, is: Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Movement. 

Chair: Prof. Rebecca Pates, PhD
