Abstract

This panel will share research on the processes and trajectories involved with entering and exiting movements related to the radical right. The panelists share information gathered from a variety of data collection approaches including open source records and life history interviews. The research offers a broad view of the radical right to advance the application of theories related to identity formation, the sociology of emotions, and social psychology. These theories and methods support understandings of pathways into and out of various organizations that unpack the temporal and relational nature of agency, and how agents decide which tactics of the radical right to deploy (e.g., violence). The panelists contribute to scholarship on the radical right by offering innovative interpretations of entry and disengagement from extremist organizations.
