Professor of Philosophy Barrett Emerick's paper "Oppressive Fear" was included in the book "The Moral Psychology of Fear," edited by Ami Harbin. 

According to the publisher, Bloomsbury, "The Moral Psychology of Fear brings together contemporary philosophers to consider how fear can shape or compromise moral motivation, and in particular the ways in which fear might motivate morally and politically troubling actions for individuals and communities."

Emerick's paper is included in Part IV of the book, a section titled "Fear, Politics, and Violence."
