Protest? What's the point? | Research for the Real World
Sunday, 28 July, 2024

In this podcast, Jason Ilagan hears from Dr Benjamin Abrams about a theory on how and why movements such as the 1789 French Revolution, the Arab Spring as well as Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter take place, his policy work looking at ‘coping strategies’ against populism and preventing violence in mass protest, and what might happen during and after the elections in the United States this November. Production note: This episode was recorded on Monday 8 July 2024, before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump (Saturday 13 July 2024) and Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the US presidential election race (Sunday 21 July 2024).
