Dr. Katy Brown

Katy Brown (she/her) is a Research Fellow in Language and Social Justice at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her research focuses on the mainstreaming of the far right, exploring how far-right politics becomes normalised in society. Rather than focusing on the actions of the far right in driving its own success, she is especially interested in the key role played by mainstream actors from politics and media in this process. Only by accounting for these important contributors can we look to counter the growing prevalence of exclusionary politics in society.
