A public lecture titled "Worte als Waffen – Hassrede im Zeitalter des Populismus" (Words as Weapons – Hate Speech in the Age of Populism), given by Prof. Dr. Karsten Donnay of the Department of Political Science at UZH. It is part of the lecture series "Die Sprache der Macht. Die Macht der Sprache" (The Language of Power. The Power of Language), run by the UZH Interdisciplinary Commission, which examines the relationship between language and power from linguistic, sociological, cultural, psychological and historical perspectives, with topics including propaganda, hate speech and misinformation. The series aims to promote a conscious and critical approach to language as a societal instrument of power. The lectures are usually recorded and made available as podcasts.
