Hello and welcome to The Rob
Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.
On this, our 36th episode, our guest
is Heidi Beirich.
Heidi Beirich leads the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project,
“one of the most respected anti-terror organizations in the world,” according
to the National Review. She is an expert on various forms of
extremism, including the white supremacist, nativist and neo-Confederate
movements as well as racism in academia. She oversees the SPLC’s authoritative,
yearly count of the nation’s hate and hard-line, anti-government groups and is
a frequent contributor to the SPLC’s investigative reports and speaker at
conferences on extremism. Prior to joining the SPLC staff in 1999, Heidi earned
a doctorate in political science from Purdue University.
She is the co-editor and author of several chapters of Neo-Confederacy: A
Critical Introduction, published by the University of Texas Press
in 2008.
And now, on to the show.
