Funded Activity Summary

Alt-right discourse and ideology in Australia and its threat to democracy. This project aims to uncover the anti-democratic threat posed by the circulation of alt-right discourse and ideology in Australia. Responding to growing concern about online hate speech and violent acts committed by extremists inspired by alt-right ideas, the project seeks to map the online spread of alt-right discourse in Australia and analyse the transnational influences, ideology, strategies and public influence of the groups that promote such discourse. The project will establish a new footing for understanding recent developments in online extremism, engage policy makers and professionals working in the field, and, through its public-facing outcomes, add a new dimension to public debate on the impact of the internet on civil society.
