Division J Vice Presidential Session: Addressing Hate in Higher Education: Critical Reflections on Action, Inaction, Manifestations, and Hope

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The anti-Black, anti-Islamic, anti-Immigrant, and transphobic expressions of Hate saturating our news feeds is no longer being ignored by the general public. Yet, the research and education concerning Hate remains fragmented in higher education. If we ever hope to eliminate Hate, higher education researchers must use their scholarship to expose how hetropatriarchal racial nationalism maintains and perpetuates it. Heteropatriarchal racial nationalism (hooks, 2004; Lipsitz, 2006; Smith, 2013) describes the political and economic system of dominance in the United States that advantages whiteness, maleness, heterosexuality, and nativism. To that end, this symposium brings together critical and interdisciplinary scholars to critique how Hate manifest in higher education and the role of policy, research and practice in its eradication.
