«Ксенофобия и экстремизм: глобальные вызовы и региональные тренды»

Mark Potok

Mark Potok, Senior Fellow at the Center for the Analysis of the Radical Right and former Senior official of the Southern Poverty Law Center (USA)

 

The Experience of the Southern Poverty Law Center

 

The Southern Poverty Law Center is an American civil rights organization that became famous for filing lawsuits against Klan and other extreme-right organizations and, in many cases, destroying them as a result. Mark Potok, who was a senior official at SPLC for 20 years, will describe the nature of these strategic lawsuits and their results. Potok will also briefly describe an array of other, non-legal approaches to using factual information and investigative reporting as a way of weakening or neutralizing dangerous radical-right organizations and propagandists.

 

I will not be using audiovisual materials, just talking.

 

Valery, I’m not planning on writing out either of my presentations. My plan is simply to write myself an outline, and then give a talk based on that outline. I am very reluctant to promise to write out these presentations, as you request in Point 3 below. I just don’t feel like I have the time — it would be many, many hours of work, and I’ve been very busy. Please let me know if this is all right.
