Just as it says: the comments of a philosopher on the high and the low; world events, phenomena encountered and, occasionally, the esoteric happenings of academia.
Now, videos are online from the third symposium of this project (a fourth is due to take place in Brussels in January next year) that took place in April this year, in Frankfurt, Germany, organized by our German partners in the project, Michael Fingerle and Caroline Bonnes. The theme of this particular symposium was the prevention and psychology of hate crime. So without further ado, here's some more social science research in the making - welcome to the lab!
David Brax (and Christian Munthe) - The Hate Crime Concept(s): Moral, Legal and Political Considerations
Anneli Svensson: How the LGBTQ Population's Suffering from Hate Crimes and Its Consequences Can Help us Understand the Preventive Work
Marc Coester: Community Crime Prevention in the case of Hate Crimes and Right-Wing Extremism
Edward Dunbar - Community, Forensic, and Clinical Characteristics of Hate Crime Offenders in L.A.
I think you might be interested in the Pursuit of Justice: Understanding Hatred, Confronting Intolerance, Eliminating Inequality conference. It is a collaboration of the 3rd International Conference on Hate Studies and the 2nd Conference on Race and the Criminal Justice System The conference is being held April 18-20, 2013 at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA.
This conference brings together the leading interdisciplinary academic forum on hate and directly related social problems with the combined social justice leadership of the Gonzaga Law School and the Washington Task Force on Race and the Criminal Justice System.
This pairing provides opportunities to align interests in understanding and addressing fear and ignorance of the “other” with interests in how these conditions manifest in hatred, intolerance, and inequality.
