Turner Ave.). Her presentation, “European Far Right Resurgence in the Age of Nicki Minaj & Iggy Azalea,” is free and open to the public.
Dr. Bego, a native of Albania who advises Hastings College’s Model United Nations Club will explore the rise of the radical right in Europe and its causes before connecting the anti-European Union sentiments, known as Euroscepticism, to the age of globalization and interconnectedness.
