      Gale Researcher Guide for: Conservative Political Movements: The Religious Right, the Tea Party, and the Alt-Right

      Erin Denton

      London School of Economics

      Researcher

      Erin Denton received her PhD in sociology from McGill University, her MS in law, anthropology, and society from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and her MA in criminology from Simon Fraser University. Her work at the London School of Economics explores the sociological and technological framework of contemporary white power movements.

Experiencing unprecedented growth in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the New Right populist conservative movement sought, successfully, to
