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, centring principally on the role that mainstream actors from politics and media play in normalising far-right discourse. Katy has published articles on mainstreaming, far-right politics and populism, and her forthcoming Bloomsbury book, Mainstreaming the Far Right: How Mainstream Political Discourse Normalises Exclusion and Inequality, explores these dynamics through the Brexit referendum.
