Comparative and Empirical Research on the Global Far Right

Luciano Santander, Freie Universität Berlin, Soziologie

Inhalte/ Contents

This seminar will immerse students in a global examination of the rise of far-right movements, employing qualitative mixed methods to explore radicalization, narratives, and mobilization strategies, moving from research design into data collection and analysis. Students will implement and refine comparative projects on far-right dynamics across diverse contexts, building on cases from Argentina, Chile, Germany, the USA, France, or other cases that students want to develop. Through collaborative work, students learn how to apply qualitative methods such as interviews, digital content analysis, discourse analysis, and thematic coding, producing original empirical findings. The course emphasizes interdisciplinary exchange and cross-case comparison to explore differences and connections in far-right mobilization worldwide. Open to bachelor's and master's students with prior knowledge of social science research methods.
