In Case You Missed It   In Case You Missed It Beyond the Hate Frame: When Systemic Violence Masquerades As Hate and Extremism A Roundtable Discussion From the candidates in 2022 races carrying the mantle of the Far Right, to the treatment of anti-LGBTQ persecution as “phobia”, join PRA Research Analysts Ben Lorber, Habiba Farh, and Heron Greenesmith as they name and explore the language and policies that obscure purposeful and concerted programs of social order maintenance. In this conversation, they will answer the questions: “How does the designation of 'hate'–i.e. hate crimes, hate groups–and 'extremism' or 'fanaticism' perpetuate hegemonic oppression? And who benefits from this design?” For security reasons, we will not be making the recording public until early 2023. A transcript is available for your reading. Access the transcript here.
