BİLGE YABANCI

Hello! I work at the University of Deusto in Bilbao, Spain, where I hold a double position as Ikerbasque Fellow and Ramón y Cajal Fellow. In my current project, I research group stigmatisation driven by authoritarian political actors and far-right groups, with a focus on refugees, asylum seekers, and gender minorities. My goal is not only to understand the dynamics of stigmatisation and discrimination but also to create a body of work that supports activists, social movements, and civil society organisations in their efforts to counter far-right and authoritarian narratives that polarise societies and undermine democracy.
