Description
This focussed on the themes and issues in Part III of The Ethics of Researching the Far Right: The Haunting Past: Memory and Far Right Studies. The contributors will consider how collective memory and heritage are appropriated and mobilised by the far right in order to project their ideologies across history. They will reflect, further, on the ethical obligation of archaeologists, historians, social scientists, and heritage workers to recognise the political nature of their research, to debunk the far-right’s narratives of past and present, and to condemn white supremacy across history. At a time when research in the field is increasingly presentist, they will demonstrate that we must absolutely engage with wider historical contexts if we are to understand the current resurgence of far right movements and parties. The contributions will look at and reflect on these issues in relation to the politics of the field, research methods and, crucially, their identities and experiences as researchers.| Period | 31 Mar 0020 |
