The Urgency of Fostering Student Agency in Genocide Education
While we teach with the assumptive belief that there is an inherent value in genocide education, there has been little discussion about what “good” genocide education looks like, let alone whether it is effective in diminishing the stereotypes, prejudice, and discriminatory behaviors that underlie genocidal policies and practices. This article argues that genocide education has the potential (albeit mostly untapped) to have a transformative influ…
The Pragmatics of Gaze Patterns in a Local Family Sign Language from Guatemala
In this study, we document the coordination of eye gaze and manual signing in a local sign language from Nebaj, Guatemala. We analyze gaze patterns in two conversations in which signers described the book Frog Where Are You to an interlocutor. The signers include a deaf child who narrated the book to a hearing interlocutor and her grandfather, who is also deaf, as he described the same book to his hearing grandson during a separate conversation. …
A Troubled Sleep
A Troubled Sleep: Risk and Resilience in Contemporary Northern Ireland revisits one of the world’s most deeply divided societies more than 20 years after a peace agreement brought an end to the Troubles. The book asks if the conflict, while perhaps managed and contained, has been transformed—structurally and relationally—into a win-win situation for both sides. It addresses this question by drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, comparative research,…
Genocide Is Worth It
Of particular focus in this piece is the communication of the logic of atrocity prevention to State actors. As genocide studies has developed as a field, we also have become more insular; professionalizing how we operate in such a way that it has pulled us away from those very venues in which we should be applying our work. From the sure footing of the outside, we often criticize State actors, particularly policymakers, for their impotent actions…

Becoming Evil
Political or social groups wanting to commit mass murder on the basis of racial, ethnic or religious differences are never hindered by a lack of willing executioners. In Becoming Evil, social psychologist James Waller uncovers the internal and external factors that can lead ordinary people to commit extraordinary acts of evil. Waller debunks the common explanations for genocide- group think, psychopathology, unique cultures- and offers a more sop…

Social Loafing and the Group-Evaluation Effect
Group performance of 52 college students was motivated simply by the potential for group evaluation, regardless of the similarity or dissimilarity of persons comprising the social-comparison standard
Dual‐Processing in Value Self‐Confrontation
Rokeach (1973) developed the method of value self‐confrontation (VSC) in an attempt to change people's behavior by changing the value hierarchy underlying that behavior. The present research examined the role of need for cognition, defined by Cacioppo, Petty, and Kao (1984) as an individual's tendency to engage in and enjoy effortful cognitive endeavors, in the VSC process. Two studies demonstrated that the VSC procedure was equally effective for…
Correlation of Need for Cognition and Modern Racism
Survey results from 59 college students indicated that those low in need for cognition evidenced higher racial prejudice than respondents high in need for cognition
