Tepper Quad: Simmons Auditorium

Esteemed scholar and Pittsburgh community member, Dr. Kathleen Blee of the University of Pittsburgh, will examine the Great Replacement Theory: a harmful and conspiratorial ideology stemming from the nexus of white nationalism, antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia, which has historically incited global hatred and violence. Dr. Blee will explore its origins, manifestations, and intersections with other forms of bigotry. The presentation aims to highlight the dangers of this conspiracy theory, emphasizing the need to confront hateful ignorance and disinformation with education, while centering compassion, love, and a unifying commitment to equity, inclusion, and belonging within and across our community.
