Bianca Beck
Undergraduate Student
Bianca Beck is a senior majoring in Political Science and enrolled in the simultaneous BA/MA degree program in East Asian Studies. Her research interests include international human rights law and policy on statelessness, asylum and migration policy in the EU, the links between nationalism and right-wing extremism, and national identity building in post-conflict states. Drawing from these interests, her Political Science thesis attempted to distill the core characteristics of right-wing extremism from the academic literature in political science. It investigated whether Alternative für Deutschland, a far-right anti-migration political party in Germany, fits these characteristics.
