2024 Fay Gale Lecture 'Youth, Masculinity and the Far Right in Australia' with Professor Pam Nilan
This lecture considers the nexus of youthful masculinity and far right discourse in Australia. It constitutes a gendered reflection on data collected from a range of men for an Australian Research Council Discovery-funded research project titled Far Right in Australia: Intellectuals, Masculinity and Citizenship. In the data, digitally-networked younger informants frequently articulated the discourse of white male victimhood. They felt stigmatised for being white. They were nostalgic for the idealised traditional gender roles of a previous generation; feeling that young women had gained so much while they, as young men, had lost out. They expressed conservative attitudes on contentious socio-political issues and reported relatively high levels of stress. Exploring the concept of aggrieved entitlement, Professor Nilan will discuss the project findings, supplemented by examples from far-right groups in Australia that specifically target young (white) men for recruitment.
