Event Description

Rising political and economic tensions across the globe have led to widespread expressions of hate aimed at particular individuals and groups. These sentiments are found not only in political discourse and across social media platforms, but tragically go beyond speech to include actions that take the form of violent behavior and conflict. Understanding the mechanisms through which hate is socially transmitted and motivates violent behavior is an ongoing research challenge. This year's Empirical Studies of Conflict (ESOC) Annual Meeting brought together a range of experts on “Hate and Conflict” at UCLA in Los Angeles, California. BDI Executive Director Shannon Hiller joined the meeting to present the initiative's research on political violence and risk mitigation efforts in the United States ahead of the 2024 election.
