This weekend, attendees at the “Inaugural Conference on Right-Wing Studies” at the University of California Berkeley will be given just that opportunity.
A Friday morning session titled “Women and Gender on the Right” will feature UC Berkeley lecturer Michelle Summers to discuss a topic titled “‘Be Rough, Be Violent, Don’t Drop Her On the Floor:’ The Christian Right’s Enactment of Female Purity through Evangelical Ballet Technique.”
In an email to The College Fix, Summers says her research “investigates the embodied politics of the Christian Right via a dance studies perspective.”
The conference itself will be held April 25-27 by the UC Berkeley Center for Right-Wing Studies, a self-described “research unit dedicated to the study of right-wing movements in the 20th and 21st centuries.”
But the line-up consists of workshops, panels and screenings that frame the “right wing” as consisting nearly entirely of alt-right, white supremacist Neo-Nazi and Christian fascist types. Thus the conference will provide an analysis of the American right-wing limited by the confines of the caricature leftist academics believe conservatism to be.
The conference kicked off Thursday with a panel featuring experts discussing the far right in Latin America, Europe and the U.S. and the “threats posed by white supremacy, misogyny, anti-Semitism, and anti-democratic/authoritarian ideologies (including acts of right-wing violence over the past year and ongoing potential threats).”
On Friday night there’s a screening of the PBS documentary “Documenting Hate: Charlottesville” followed by a panel discussion “regarding the resurgence of white supremacist groups in the US and abroad.”
