extremely Oren Segal

In this episode, Oren Segal and Jessica Reaves reflect on a truly bizarre celebration of Women’s History Month and hear from Morgan Moon, a COE researcher, whose work led to the arrest of a white supremacist. Last, we dive into COE’s annual assessment of white supremacist propaganda distributions. Spoiler alert: White supremacists are good at using photocopiers.

We often say episodes of extremely are special, but this time we really mean it. Oren Segal and Jessica Reaves are joined, live on stage, by Nuseir Yassin and Alex Dwek of Nas Company and Nas Daily for a freewheeling, thoughtful conversation about Israeli-Palestinian identity, the importance of community-building and our universal need for human connection.

Recorded at the Never Is Now conference in New York, this episode also marks extremely’s first foray into video (video available on YouTube, audio available on your favorite podcasting platform).

In the second half of the episode, we’re joined by Shannon Hiller, who helms Princeton University’s Bridging Divides Initiative, for a frank conversation about the potential for political violence as we all tiptoe, with no small amount of trepidation, into a general election year.

In the final episode of 2023, Oren Segal and Jessica Reaves look back at some of the developments in hate and extremism we wish would end along with the year (but almost certainly will not), including extremists harassing city council meetings, a months-long swatting spree targeting synagogues and other religious institutions and finally the massive post-October 7 spike in antisemitic incidents.

We also welcome a couple of special guests -- longtime COE colleagues whose expertise and research are at the heart of everything we do.
