If the print is too small to read, here’s a description of a forthcoming lecture titled, “Reimagining Activism As Combative”:
Quote :
In this presentation, Dr. Billie Murray will challenge the violence/nonviolence binary that limits our understanding of activist practices. Drawing on examples from her fieldwork with anti-fascist activists, she will argue that we should reimagine activism as combative. Such an expanded understanding will allow us to better discern the efficacy and ethics of combative tactics and how they work in concert with traditional, nonviolent activism. The lecture will be held in Driscoll 134. ACS Approved
It sounds like she is going to give a lecture on why antifa is right to beat people up.
Here’s more about Billie Murray, including some papers she has written, from her Academia.edu page:
Quote :
Dr. Murray’s current research explores public responses to hate speech and issues of allyship in activist communities as she participates with other activists in counterprotests against white supremacists and other hate groups. She is currently working on a book length project with the University of California Press detailing this work. More generally, Dr. Murray’s research seeks to advance understandings about the relationships between public space and the rhetoric of social protest. Her activist work has focused on human rights and peace organizations and the Occupy movement. Her work has appeared in Argumentation and Advocacy, First Amendment Studies, Western Journal of Communication, and Communication Theory. As a rhetorical activist scholar, Dr. Murray believes that her research should contribute to social justice and the public good. She strives to continuing learning from and contributing to the people who work to make our communities more peaceful and just.
She is a Social Justice Warrior. Says so right in her bio. Late last year, the Chronicle of Higher Education profiled her. Excerpts:
“I am antifa as a set of beliefs and values about the world,” says Murray, who holds a joint appointment in the university’s Center for Peace and Justice Education. “As an activist, I support antiracist action and antifascist organizing, but I draw the line at engaging in violence.” She understands, though, why antifa groups engage in what she calls symbolic violence.
“The way they understand what they do is that lighting a trash can on fire or smashing a Starbucks window encourages a group like the Proud Boys to treat antifa as the enemy rather than going down the street and beating up a Muslim or Jewish person,” she says. The Proud Boys, an all-male organization of self-described “Western chauvinists,” dispute the Southern Poverty Law Center’s characterization of them as a hate group.
