On 9-10 October 2025, the Contemporary History Working Group on the Extreme Right (Zeithistorischer Arbeitskreis extreme Rechte – ZAER) will host an international conference at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland titled Extreme Right Transnational: Towards a New Post-War History.
The conference will examine the transnational dimensions and dynamics of the extreme right after 1945 by adopting an actor-centred perspective. It will explore cross-border networks and contacts, the circulation of media products, and the exchange of ideas and thoughts, aesthetics and lifestyles, mobilisation strategies and organisational forms. This conference aims to bring together researchers working on the transnational aspects of the extreme right. While the primary focus is on the second half of the 20th century, contributions examining longer historical continuities are also welcome.
