🔮 Varieties of antigender politics: applying a contextual lens

Susanne Reinhardt

Despite their shared antigenderism, populist radical-right parties’ contestation of gender and sexual equality forms a continuum rather than being homogenous across countries. Susanne Reinhardt, Annett Heft, and Elena Pavan argue that varieties of antigenderism are best understood through a party’s societal context, ideology, and voter expectations

Susanne is also an associated researcher at the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society and the German Center for Integration and Migration Research.

Her current research focuses on everyday political talk about wealth inequality, and how intersections with gender and race inequalities are addressed in these conversations.

Her doctoral research focuses on strategies and contexts of opposition to gender and sexual equality in the (populist) radical right.

In this context, she researches the framing of gender and sexual equality in counterpublics and mainstream public spheres, and how gendered opportunity structures shape populist radical right parties’ antigenderism.

Methodologically, she is interested in computational social science and combines social network analysis, automated text analysis, and manual content analysis.
