Fascism, Politics, and Terrorism: Lessons from History with Matthew Feldman

Preview of my next Fair Observer #podcast with professor and historian Matthew Feldman. Matthew is a specialist on fascist ideology and the far right in Europe and the USA.

Described in The Independent as “the leading expert on the radical right” and by ITV as the ‘UK’s leading specialist in this area,’ Matthew Feldman is a consultant, writer, and Emeritus Professor in the Modern History of Ideas.

He has published a dozen volumes on fascism and the radical right, as well as dozens of chapters, articles, and comment pieces on this and other subjects. He has also consulted widely via hundreds of media interviews and more than two dozen cases as an Expert Witness on radical right terrorism while delivering keynote lectures for the G-7, Council of Europe, and many other bodies.

An Emeritus Professor in the History of Modern Ideas at Teesside University, he led Britain’s first unit dedicated to analyzing radical right extremism, the Centre for Fascist, Anti-fascist, and Post-fascist Studies. Before that, he directed the Radicalism and New Media Group at the University of Northampton.

Professor Feldman's third collection of essays will appear in 2024, and his history of fascism will be published by Yale University Press in 2025.
