About Kurt

Dr. Kurt Sengul is a Macquarie University Research Fellow (MQRF) in the School of Communication, Society and Culture, Faculty of Arts, at Macquarie University, joining in 2024. He earned his PhD in Media and Communications from the University of Newcastle in 2022, with a thesis entitled 'Populism and the Far Right in Contemporary Australia: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Pauline Hanson's Senate Speeches in the 45th Parliament.' His research investigates how contemporary far-right, extremist, and anti-democratic movements exploit shifts in twenty-first-century media and communication systems. His three-year MQRF-funded project, 'Media Populism, Democracy and the Public Sphere in Australia,' explores the nexus between media and far-right populism, assessing implications for liberal democracy, pluralism, and the public sphere. In 2025, he received the Early Career Researcher of the Year award at the Faculty of Arts Research Excellence Awards. As principal chief investigator, he leads five projects totaling over $1.3 million, including an Australian Research Council Discovery Project worth $620,839.
