Right-wing ideology and nationalism have gained tractionthroughout Europe in recent years (Lifland, 2013; Antonsich,2020). Amidst multi-disciplinary analysis of this growingphenomenon, is an emerging body of research highlighting thedistinctly masculine tendencies of such ideologies (Kimmel,2018; Ralph-Morrow, 2022). The proposed research seeks toadd to this scholarship by working at the intersections of localidentities, race and masculinities. It aims to explore howeveryday nationalism is embedded within broader structures ofpatriarchy (hooks, 2013) and comes to shape and produceforms of masculinity.This study will draw upon biographical methods, conducting 40interviews with male participants in Tyneside - a predominantlywhite post-industrial area with a paucity of research on race(Nayak, 2003). A gendered analysis will assist in examiningways in which once normalised notions of masculinity can bevalidated in right-wing ideology. The research avoids theassumption that 'left behind' places and the men within themare somehow inherently drawn to right-wing thinking. Instead, itwill explore how such widespread far-right narratives figure inthe biographies of men themselves, connect to their livedexperiences and produce particular versions of masculinity thatare embodied and enacted in place.The research will advance current geographic scholarship, byproducing new understandings of the relationship betweenmasculinities, race and everyday nationalism in post-industrialtowns. Furthermore, the findings will have direct benefit forboth regional and national organisations when it comesunderstanding and combating hate speech.

近年来，右翼意识形态和民族主义在整个欧洲受到关注（Lifland，2013；Antonsich，2020）。在对这一日益增长的现象进行多学科分析的过程中，有一个新兴的研究机构强调了此类意识形态明显的男性化倾向（Kimmel，2018；Ralph-Morrow，2022）。拟议的研究旨在通过研究当地身份、种族和男性气质的交叉点来丰富这项奖学金。它的目的是探索当今的民族主义如何嵌入更广泛的父权制结构中（Hooks，2013），并逐渐形成和产生男性气质的形式。这项研究将利用传记方法，对泰恩赛德的男性参与者进行 40 次访谈，泰恩赛德是一个以白人为主的后工业地区，对种族的研究很少（Nayak，2003）。性别分析将有助于检查曾经标准化的男性气概观念在右翼意识形态中得到验证的方式。这项研究避免了这样的假设：“落后”的地方和其中的人在某种程度上天生就被右翼思想所吸引。相反，它将探索这种广泛存在的极右叙事如何出现在男性自身的传记中，如何与他们的生活经历联系起来，并产生具体的男性气概版本。这项研究将通过对后工业城镇中的男性气概、种族和日常民族主义之间的关系提出新的理解，从而推进当前的地理学术。此外，在理解和打击仇恨言论方面，研究结果将为区域和国家组织带来直接好处。
