scapegoating
Scapegoating is the social mechanism by which a group projects collective blame, shame, or anxiety onto a single individual or outgroup, often to restore order or unity within the larger community. It functions as both a psychological defense and a ritual act of purification.

Through literary analysis (particularly in *The Golden Ass*), spoken-word performance, and introspective monologue, she interrogates how individuals become targets for mass judgment and what it means to resist both the role and the mob that assigns it.
