Olivier Bérubé-Sasseville (Canada)

Olivier Bérubé-Sasseville holds a PhD in history from the Université du Québec à Montréal. Having devoted his master's thesis to the Groupe Union Défense, a far-right student movement in Paris (1968-1988), his research interests are social and political movements, far-right discourses and their renewal during the second half of the twentieth century, as well as the dynamics of new right-wing populisms in France and Western Europe. He is also interested in punk subcultures, DIY scenes and political margins. His doctoral thesis focuses on the Ordre Nouveau movement (1969-1973), the last neo-fascist attempt in France and a vector for the emergence of the Front National.
