Why We Hate and What We Can Do About It

Throughout history, hate and conflict have been part of the human experience. We all have the capacity to hate, but few of us understand what sparks it and transforms it into a destructive force.

Northwestern Professor of Psychology, Dr. Michael Kraus, will share the biological and psychological underpinnings of hate, how it manifests itself in individuals within groups and in the world at large, and what the individual person can do to overcome their own potential for hate. He’ll explore how our current environment ignites and spreads hate and how each of us can work against hate and keep it from spreading.
