The State of Hate: Harassment and Hate Crime in Higher Education - with Dr. Amy Clarke

Tuesday 24th September, 5:30-7pm, NEWN48 (Newton Building), City Campus

Join NTSU in welcoming Dr. Amy Clarke, Deputy Director of the Centre for Hate Studies, for a talk on The State of Hate: Harassment and Hate Crime in Higher Education.

The talk will cover a number of topics including:

• General trends in hate crime reporting and the main drivers for increasing hostility
• What do we currently know about hate crime and harassment in Higher Education?
• What do students tell us about their experiences of hate and harassment?
• Are current responses to these issues adequate?
• What needs to happen next?
   

Dr Amy Clarke (she/her) is Deputy Director of The Centre for Hate Studies based at the University of Leicester. She has both taught and researched in the field of hate crime and harassment for the last nine years. Her research has focused on particularly ‘hidden’ forms of harassment and targeted hostility, in particular the experiences of new migrants and refugees living in the UK. She regularly works with and consults for external partners and agencies, such as the Crown Prosecution Service and the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, to develop evidence-based policy and guidance on hate crime. In 2022, Amy was also a member of the OfS Expert Group for Evaluating the Student Statement for Expectations.  

This event is open to all NTU students.

It will take place from 6pm (doors at 5:30pm) on Tuesday 24th October in NEWN48 - Room 48, Newton Building, City Campus.

Tickets are free, but are strictly limited - so don't delay!
