Tuesday, February 1, 2022
3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST/GMT-5 Online Event
3 PM New York l 9 PM Vienna
The Bard Center for the Study of Hate invites OSUN members to join Susan Benesch and Cathy Buerger of the Dangerous Speech Project, who will discuss speech as a driver of violence and the potential effectiveness of “counterspeech.”
There are many urgent questions about hate, and what to do about it, especially when it catalyzes violence. Benesch and Buerger will speak on the Dangerous Speech Project's recently released publications, reviewing and evaluating the literature on two such questions: Is speech a driver of intergroup violence? And is counterspeech an effective response to hatred?
