The ethics of researching the far right

<p>At a time when far radical and extreme-right politics are becoming increasingly mainstream globally - sometimes with deadly consequences - research in these fields is essential to understand the most effective ways to combat these dangerous ideologies. Yet engaging with texts and movements that do physical and verbal violence raises a number of urgent ethical issues. Until recently this has remained understudied as scholarship on the far right rarely delves explicitly and critically into the ethics of research. <br><br>This book seeks to remedy this significant gap in an otherwise extensive and growing literature. Originating from a workshop series in 2020 in which an international group of academics at various career stages shared the ethical challenges and best practices they had developed in their research this edited collection draws together insights from these ongoing conversations offering urgent critical reflections on key ethical issues.</p>
