Lilie Chouliaraki, Professor of Media and Communications at LSE and author of Wronged: The Weaponization of Victimhood, engages in a thought-provoking discussion. She explores how victimhood, often misconstrued as weakness, can be a tool for power, especially among political figures. Chouliaraki challenges listeners to critically evaluate claims of victimization through the lenses of race, class, and gender. The conversation also delves into the strategic manipulation of language in establishing narratives, urging a more nuanced understanding of victimhood in today's social movements.
