In the latest collaboration between PERIL and The Contrarian, Jen is joined by Executive Director Bill Braniff. This week’s topic of discussion is “The Great Replacement Theory”, an alt-right conspiracy theory claiming that the white population (and white “culture” at large) is being systematically displaced by non-white populations. At the core of the ideology driving the theory is white supremacy and misogyny.
If you are a parent, teacher, faither leader, or anyone else seeking guidance on what to do when confronted with this conspiracy theory, take a look at PERIL’s resources here.
Bill Braniff is the new executive director of he Polarization and Extremism Research & Innovation Lab (PERIL) at American University. Previously, he served as Director of the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START).
