About Mario
Associate Professor Mario Peucker is a Principal Research Fellow at the Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities (ISILC) at Victoria University in Melbourne and executive member of the Centre for Resilient Communities and Inclusive Societies (CRIS). He is also a senior fellow at the Far Right Analysis Network (FRAN). Mario has undertaken qualitative and quantitative research on the radical right and other political movements, dissent and sociocultural inclusion-exclusion dynamics since 2003, both in Europe and Australia. His current work focusses in particular on exploring the boundaries of radical political dissent as a form of angry citizenship, the reciprocal dynamics between far-right and radical (antifascist) left movements, and the interplay between internationally connected online mobilisation and offline actions in local contexts.
