Full event details

This talk will show how modern philosophy can use empirical science to tackle real-world issues. We'll delve into social psychology and new research on the "manosphere" to understand how prejudice and misogyny show up in online spaces and their discourses of toxic masculinity. The discussion will also draw on ideas from feminist religious studies, offering a multi-faceted look at this complex issue.
