Public condemnation of identity-based violence is generally widespread, but new research shows this opposition may be surprisingly fragile. In this talk, Princeton University professors Rafaela Dancygier and Jonathan Mummolo present evidence showing how the language and media framing used to describe violent hate crimes — such as framing attacks on Jews in nationalist, anti-Zionist rather than religious terms — erodes Americans‘ opposition to these attacks, with parallel patterns emerging for violence against Muslims and Hindus. The discussion will be moderated by Princeton professor Ismail White.
