About Lonnie G. Bunch
Lonnie G. Bunch III is the 14th Secretary of the Smithsonian. He assumed his position June 16, 2019. As Secretary, he oversees 21 museums, 21 libraries, the National Zoo, numerous research centers and several education units and centers. Two new museums—the National Museum of the American Latino and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum—are in development.
Previously, Bunch was the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. When he started as director in July 2005, he had one staff member, no collections, no funding and no site for a museum. Driven by optimism, determination and a commitment to build “a place that would make America better,” Bunch transformed a vision into a bold reality. The museum has welcomed more than 8 million visitors since it opened in September 2016 and has compiled a collection of 40,000 objects that are housed in the first “green building” on the National Mall. In 2019, the creation of the museum became the first Smithsonian effort to be the topic of a Harvard Business Review case study. -
An Interdisciplinary Panel Discussion on Hate
Recorded April 22, 2024.
An Interdisciplinary Panel Discussion on Hate: Reflection from the Network Of Excellence Training on Hate (NETHATE) project. NETHATE is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Network (ITN).
Details: In a time where hate is constantly evolving, this discussion will explore the topic of ‘hate’ based on the three working packages of the NETHATE project: 1. Psychology and Neuroscience, 2. Technology and Social Media, 3. Culture, Ideologies, and Religion. Our distinguished panel will share their insights on how research in each of these areas has contributed to the overarching goal of combating hate in Europe. In addition, panellists will also discuss the gaps and limits of research on hate moving forward.
Join us for an insightful discussion and the chance to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for working towards combating hatred, intolerance and discrimination across Europe. Together, let's explore the potential for social change enhancing response to hate speech and hate crime, interdisciplinary research and analysis from the grassroots level to top-down approaches. -
