Why witch hunts are still happening in 2024
A podcast with Professor Miranda Forsyth
Witch hunts aren't confined to colonial America's history books; they persist across the various corners of the globe to this very day.
Individuals continue to face persecution, and tragically, even murder, merely based on suspicion of practising witchcraft. This disturbing trend finds its roots in a complex interplay of factors including fundamentalist interpretations of Christianity, socioeconomic disparity, and civil unrest.
In Why Witch Hunts Are Still Happening in 2024, Professor Miranda Forsyth joins The Briefing podcast to explain what happens to these vulnerable people and what motivations lie behind today’s witch hunts. She then takes an incisive look at the dedicated, ongoing efforts to combat this pervasive issue.
