Abstract
Populism and far right populism have reemerged in the 21st century threatening liberal democracy and multi-cultural societies. Though far right populist parties and far right populism have become more pronounced and influential in different regions of the world the focus of this entry is on far-right extremist mobilisations and how it relates to misogyny. Far right extremist ideology conveys characteristics of nativism, which is linked to othering of group difference and includes the re-essentialising of social identity. Concerningly, anti-gender ideology holds a prominent place in this shift to far-right extremism, which might embrace homophobic policy also conveying strong misogynist views. Educational institutions are confronted with new generations of digitally literate students and pupils delving into easily accessible online hate communication.
