This talk, after reviewing the often-underexplored role of gender in researching illiberalism, discusses two case studies of how inhabitants of a village in Hungary, at the bank of the largest, ‘sweet water’ lake in Europe, Lake Balaton, resisted replacing a forest with a fuel station and resistance to the illiberal transformation of higher education.
