Hatred and related concepts such as enmity, homophobia, and anti-Semitism are often discussed in our world of conflict. The American-dominated discourse of “hate crime” and “hate speech” is growing in Europe. This course examines these concepts and why they are seldom examined in studies on minority persecution or causes of ethnic mass violence.
