Some previous grant research revealed the importance of accounting for dehumanization in interreligious conflict, and this was confirmed by the work of the late neuroscientist Emile Bruneau who encouraged those working in peacemaking to account for elements like this. My work in monster theory also played a part in my understanding, and therefore I was pleased to find David Livingstone Smith account for this in his book Making Monsters: The Uncanny Power of Dehumanization (Harvard University Press, 2021). 
In this podcast, Smith and I dive down into a specific element of dehumanization which he has called "demonizing dehumanization."
