The decline of democracy and the rise of the far-right

Far-right language and policies are rapidly becoming the most popular political force across the Western world. Far-right parties are gaining unprecedented levels of popular support in much of Europe, with the same trend now emerging in Australia. How do we make sense of all this? What are the contributing factors? How well equipped are our institutions to cope with these developments? How should we respond?

These are just some of the questions this session will explore with the help of two leading experts and commentators, Lenore Taylor and Assoc Professor Mario Peucker.

The event is organised by Conversation at the Crossroads and will be held at Newman College, University of Melbourne. It will be live-streamed.

Tickets: $12 (online general) and $10 (online concession)
