Alexander Reid Ross, a doctoral candidate at Portland State University, joins “Right Rising” to break down the geography of the radical right.
Along with host Augusta Dell’Omo, he takes us through a series of geographic hotspots of the far-right — specifically in the Pacific Northwest — to explain how location intersects with the development of radical right groups. He also walks us through the cartographic tools used by geographers in studying the far-right.
In the podcast, Alexander and Augusta not only discuss the development of the far right, but potential conflict hotspots between the radical right and anti-fascist activists.
