YOU-DARE advances an interdisciplinary programme to study and intervene on the gender constructions of far-right youth groups
and leaders, and their normalisation in the mainstream, across 8 countries (DK, ES, UK, FR, HU, IT, RO, SE). The project innovates
on the current state of the art in four ways. First, we challenge existing oversimplifications of far-right ideas on gender, and adopt an
intersectional lens exposing their contradictions and complexities where anti-gender hyper-masculine/feminine tropes go alongside progender
equality endorsements within anti-immigration campaigns. Second, we concentrate on the youth which is an under-studied group
within research on the far-right, and explore the importance of gender for this demographic as a key avenue of identity formation and
politicisation. Third, we focus on far-right youth formal leaders at local levels, and new types of leadership such as online influencers.
Four, we offer a thorough understanding of how far-right youth ideas on gender impact on democracy by charting how they inform
policy debates and become normalised. YOU-DARE will also produce methodological and policy innovation (a) by using qualitative
methods to investigate far-right youth leadership; (b) mapping online ‘gender controversies’ engaging far-right youth; (d) overcoming
methodological nationalism through a focus on local levels and the creation of a transnational network of researchers, activists and
stakeholders and (c) conducting crosscutting comparative analyses across the 8 countries and selected localities. Finally, to maximise
impact, YOU-DARE establishes a Policy Lab as a collaborative platform for policy design, recommendation and implementation.
Implementation of policy recommendations generated by the project will be sought through the funding of local level pilot-tested solutions
seeking to minimise the appeal of far-right ideas on gender among the youth, and thus reduce their impact on democratic values and
practices.
