Environmental issues and social polarization

DATE: November 17th, 2022

The main objective of this webinar is to examine the question of social polarization through the lens of environmental issues. Indeed, the issue of climate change, or more broadly, of political ecology, seems to create within society forms of ideological polarization between citizens or between the different political forces that take up this issue. Environmental polarization is therefore the central topic of this webinar, which will allow participants to question the different dimensions of this phenomenon and its manifestations.   

Specific Objectives : 

• Define what social polarization is 
• Establish an overview of the environmental issue in the political sphere 
• Examine different ideological perspectives and their relationship to the environment 
• Analyze the different manifestations of social polarization related to environmental issues 
• Distinguish the vulnerability and protection factors in the face of social polarization

Hate-motivated acts: Intersectional perspectives

DATE: December 8th, 2022

Hate-motivated acts are becoming more prominent in our societies. However, some groups are more likely to be targeted by hate-motivated acts than others. Members of one or more stigmatized and marginalized groups are at increased risk of experiencing hate. The purpose of this presentation is to look at the causes and consequences of these differences in lived experiences. In order to do so, it is important to explore some of the conceptual underpinnings; namely, the notions of vulnerability, victimization and intersectionality. In doing so, it is possible to arrive at a better understanding of the different lived experiences of hate. 

Specific Objectives : 

• Define important concepts  
• Illustrate the factors leading to differential experience of hate 
• Analyze the individual and social consequences of hate 
• Recognize behaviors to avoid and helpful practices to promote dialogue with targeted individuals
