Part of the CSD Spring 2021 Seminar Series
Jean-François Drolet (Queen Mary University of London) will be presenting the paper ‘Radical Conservatism and Global Order’.
This talk will draw on a research project on radical conservatism and global order that Jean-François has been working on with Professor Michael C Williams from the University of Ottawa over the past three years or so. More specifically, it will reflect on a distinctively American articulation of radical conservative thought that goes by the name of ‘paleoconservatism’. Although relatively unknown in the mainstream media, this anti-establishment strain of right-wing thought has provided intellectual ammunition to a wide range of agents and ideological forces that have been challenging liberal orders since the mid-1980s. This includes the Tea Party, the Alt-Right, Trumpism and the European New Right.
This seminar will take place online. Register for this event on Eventbrite.
