The Effect of Framing Arguments on Attitudes toward Refugees (Talk)

Human movement from one place to the other – or occasions of non-movement and stuckness – can lead to various forms of social conflicts and can cater potential for both explicit and implicit forms of violence.

The first talk will take place on November 19 and will discuss whether and how economic, legal and moral arguments influence Americans' support for refugee admissions.
