Academic Contributions

Meret's research interests include issues of inclusion and exclusion, populism, democratic deficits, political extremisms, and anti-gender and anti-feminist movements. She has conducted research on right-wing populism in Denmark, Italy, and Austria, and examined mainstream parties' counter-strategies at both national and EU levels. Her work also explores the role of Islam in the West and the broader civil society responses to anti-immigration anti-gender and anti-feminist movements and populist ethnic nationalism​​.[4][5]

She has been involved in several national and international research projects, as for instance the Nordic Populism network (NOPO), the European RAGE project, studying hate speech and populist Othering, and the multi-year Brookings project ”The One Percent Problem: Muslims in the West and the Rise of the New Populists”. Her more recent international research projects include: the NordForsk founded SEPOS: Social exclusion, polarization and security in the Nordic welfare state, and the European Horizon project FIERCE: Feminist Movements Revitalizing Democracy in Europe.[6][5][7][8]
