Post Christchurch: Hate speech & Political Discourse

It’s been a year since the Christchurch terrorist attacks. How have hate speech and political discourse evolved since March 15? Are we now at a time where hateful language directed towards ethnic and faith communities around the world has become normalised? Or has Australia made progress since then? How do we understand the landscape of social harms caused by words and their relationship to action? Are there new ways of balancing freedoms and constraints around public discourse in the present-day? And where does responsibility on these issues lie?

Join us for a frank discussion with media personality Osman Faruqi and academic Dr Raihan Ismail.

RSVP by Monday 16th of March 2020.

Light refreshments will be provided.
