Democracies and the European project are under threat by extremism and lack of political and social dialogue. Existential insecurities arising out of economic and refugee-related crises have been exacerbated by Covid-19 to create re-bordering e.g., xenophobic-nationalism and re-shoring e.g., the localisation of production. Oppositional worldviews, narratives and dissensus within public debate are all vital to a functioning democracy. However destructive polarisation of oppositional us/them logic is at the core of the rise of extremist narratives. Disruptive actors polarise oppositional logic using disinformation, emotions, hot cognitions, conspiracy theories and mistrust to create new forms of direct action. This direct action is understood to many as direct democracy. This direct action cultivates unlikely coalitions creating attractive alternative on-line/off-line worlds which spread extreme narratives into the mainstream via deep rooted sociological and historical pathways. OppAttune is a new Horizon-Europe project that will track, attune and limit extreme narratives to foreground EU transnational freedoms and multilateralism. Specifically, it will track the evolution of oppositional extreme ideologies and protectionist decision-making, develop an innovative attunement model and tests a series of interventions at the national and transnational levels which limit the spread of extremism. OppAttune revitalises trust in key democratic institutions, promoting transnational freedoms and multilateralism.

The PhD is supervised by Professor Kesi Mahendran (Open University) and Dr Sandra Obradović (Open University), Professor Umut Korkut (Glasgow Caledonian University) & Jasmin Jasarevic (Director, PRONI Center for Youth Development, Bosnia & Herzegovina).

The studentship is for 3 years full-time. It is fully funded by Innovate UK Horizon Guarantee, as a part of this Horizon-Europe Project. The studentship is open to all students within the UK and international with a BSc in Psychology or a cognate discipline, 2:1 or equivalent and an MSc in Psychology or a cognate discipline.
