Populism: What is it, where do we see it, and why does it work? Today's episode explores some of the nuances of this political approach and how the American shift to Trumpism impacts Canada and other countries. Guest Ibrahim Berrada also shares how misinformation arises, the risks it poses, and the need for people to work together to overcome COVID.
Ibrahim Berrada is a lecturer in Canadian Studies at Brock University and a PhD candidate at Laurentian University, where his research explores populist influence in a Canadian-American cross-border context. He is also an adjunct professor in Sociology at Niagara University in Niagara Falls, NY. In the past year Ibrahim has appeared in local and national media, including the CBC and St. Catharines Standard, many times to share his expertise and analysis of current events.
