Join a dynamic, international, and interdisciplinary team working closely with 11 project partners in 8 European countries.

The project, which will receive 3 million euros in funding from the European Commission, will look at the backlash against feminism and gender equality and its impact on democracy. It examines phenomena such as hate speech in social media, anti-equality debates in political parties and parliaments, and citizens’ attitudes towards democracy and feminism.

How do we explain conflicts and crises? What holds the EU together? How does politics work in other countries? Why are there tensions in society? As a modern social science, political science deals with a wide range of socially relevant questions.
