    Abstract

    “Far Right” and Extreme Right Wing (XRW) has, to different people, different connotations. To some, these are no more than fringe movements. To others who espouse the ideals themselves, these either at the vanguard of history (say, when it comes to foreign fighting to protect another people), or are protecting an idealized way of life which in danger of being occluded by (as the case may be) hostile governments, or by races or religions with which no peaceful co-existence can be contemplated. These movements use varied and increasingly savvy ways (imagery, gamification) to disseminate their messages and to bring on board a new generation of adherents, in some cases riffing off propaganda efforts by jihadist groups such as the Islamic State. Speakers will take on these topics and will also point the way forward in terms of what needs to be done to grapple with these challenges.
