“A project that stood out to me was ‘Right Wing Populism – The Shifting Overton Window’ by cultural insight agency The Outsiders, supported by Resilience and Reconstruction. “It was a qualitative research project aiming to understand the many people increasingly (and rather lazily) grouped as ‘far right.’ I appreciated the critical thinking and effort to interrogate something so often commented on but rarely researched. In a(nother) year where divisiveness in society seemed to be growing, it gives a good example of how research, with its innate curiosity and honesty, can cut through noise and help better understand the world around us.”
