The Cost of Hate Symposium
Anti-racism, Sept. 23, 2020 6-8 PM
Anti-sexism/Heterosexism, Oct. 7, 2020 6-8 PM
Anti-fascism, Oct. 27, 2020 6-8 PM
This three-part panel discussion series seeks to examine the cost to society of group-focused hatred. How are racism, sexism, and heterosexism experienced in the current moment, and what are our resources to combat them? How do we confront the dangers of fascism, and work to build a democracy where economic, political, and cultural rights of the majority can be consolidated and defended? What are the common features of the challenges we face, and what are the more specific elements? How do we understand this moment, and how do we prepare ourselves to change it? These are the kinds of questions these panels will address by highlighting academic and community voices.
