Join CBC's IDEAS for a free talk June 12 at Neptune's Scotiabank Stage
Register now for the discussion about the rise of hate and how to dismantle it
On June 12, join CBC IDEAS producer Mary Lynk in conversation with a prestigious panel at a free discussion entitled "Ten reasons to hate others—and what to do about it".
The event takes place at 7 p.m. at Neptune Theatre's Scotiabank Stage.
The discussion will centre around the question: Why do we hate the other?
Around the world today, we are witnessing a troubling rise in hatred of the other. Scholars have come up with ten key reasons why one group may hate members of another group. If left unchecked, this hatred only intensifies, dehumanizing our perceived enemies and allowing us to justify mistreatment and even violence.
The conversation is a co-production between CIFAR and CBC IDEAS and includes:
-
Victoria Esses, Dept of Psychology, University of Western Ontario
-
Stephen Reicher, School of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of St. Andrews, Scotland
-
Prerna Singh, Dept of Political Science, Brown University, U.S.
The conversation will be recorded for CBC IDEAS and is scheduled to air in June.
