Racialization and the War on Terror: Rethinking the Definition of Terrorism in Canadian Law

In this episode of Stare Indecisis, Praise Oluwafemi interviews Bethlehem (Bety) Tesfay, an LLM student in Law and Society to talk about her thesis. Her thesis focuses on critically examining Canadian terrorism law, with a focus on the definition of terrorism. Bety hopes to build on past research into the definition of terrorism to contribute to the knowledge on how racialization and the othering of certain communities can limit their equality and democratic rights.
