What is Populism Anyway?

An online webinar hosted by Third Age Learning Guelph, 2020.09.23.

This lecture identifies and discusses some of the key features of populism: the “us versus them” mentality; populism’s conflict with elitism; how mass dissatisfaction can give rise to mass political movements; the differences between left-wing and right-wing populism; the role of leadership in populism; and the difficulties scholars have defining populism (and the reasons for that).
