Episode 20. Elite political discourse on refugees and asylum seekers: the language of social exclusion.

In this episode of the Policy Implications Podcast together with prof. Katarina Pettersson from University of Helsinki we discuss the effect of hate speech against refugees but also minority groups on the general public perception of them. Also, we talk about the way centrists’ views often contribute to “normalization” of far-right political discourse. We also discuss the ways to decrease polarization and make sure our societies are more tolerant toward immigrants and minority groups. 

Guest: prof. Katarina Pettersson - University of Helsinki
