Lisa Bjurvald

Swedish investigative journalist Lisa Bjurwald has been granted the Milena Jesenská Fellowship to continue her research on women in the extreme right. She has recently (June 2009) published a book on the subject, focusing on Sweden, and will now broaden her horizons to Europe. In short, Bjurwald will look at how and why organized racist groups and networks specifically target European women - and the impact of this new strategy on the extreme right movement as a whole.
