Alex Yates

I am a postgraduate researcher in the Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies at the University of Bath. My research focuses on the adversarial responses of mainstream political parties, in Europe and The USA, to populism. Specifically, I am concerned with how these responses have had the double effect of both marginalising dissent from neoliberal governance, and mainstreaming far-right ideas through euphemising racism as 'populist'.
