Sydney Ideas: Tim Soutphommasane On Hate and Race Politics
How is hate shaping society? And what must we do about it?
In his new book, On Hate, Tim Soutphommasane analyses the troubling rise of nationalist populism and the return of race politics. On Hate is an urgent call for citizens to defend democracy against extremism.
On the UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, join us for this timely discussion about race and politics in Australia.
This event is co-presented with Sydney Policy Lab and School of Social and Political Sciences.
