As a professor of education and sociology at the American University in Washington, DC, Cynthia Miller-Idriss's research follows two main trajectories: the first focuses on the aesthetic and cultural dimensions of far-right youth extremism and school-based responses to rising hate, and the second explores the internationalization of US higher education and the production and legitimization of knowledge about the world outside of the United States. Her most recent book is called "The Extreme Gone Mainstream: Commercialization and Far Right Youth Culture in Germany."
