About the Workshop: The MA & PhD in European Studies Programmes, Chulalongkorn University, are pleased and honoured to hold a two-day academic workshop which aims to examine the roles and impact of individuals and civil society networks in challenging extremism and the populist radical right in Europe, and beyond. The workshop will be led by Professor Rafał Pankowski, PhD, whose research specialisation and political experiences serve as fine example of how academic work and activism can converge and complement each other to overcome the stereotypical “chasm” dividing theory from practice. Participants will be given a list of reading materials prior to the workshop. After the lectures and group discussion, they will be invited to share their views and analyses. All participants will be presented with certificates issued by Chulalongkorn University as guarantee of their participation and fluency in the subject.
