Autistic adults discuss their experience of additional language learning: An exploration of the ‘different strategies’ hypothesis
Analyzing online discussion forums allowed us to compare how autistic and neurotypical adults experience second and foreign language learning. We focused on the hypothesis that autistic learners more frequently use analytical strategies, which is defined as treating language as an object of analysis to extract linguistic generalizations. Analytical learning can compensate for social challenges and difficulties in attending to speech in conversati…
Eliminationist politics: An Analytical Framework
The various facets of eliminationist politics: Conflict, nation-building, and forced migration
Eliminationist policies, as defined in this article, are deliberate actions by state or non-state actors that aim to destroy, remove, or erase certain groups on the basis of salient social identity characteristics. Conflict, nation-building, and forced migration scholars examine different facets of these policies, and related tactics, motivated by different research questions and methodological choices. This has resulted in academic silos, with v…
What Enables or Constrains Mass Expulsion? A New Decision-Making Framework
Given similar probabilities of mass expulsion, why do some governments expel ethnic groups en masse and others refrain? Extending the genocide studies literature on the dynamics of restraint, this theory-building study introduces a new framework to conceptualize the process of governments’ mass expulsion policy decisions. The novel paired-comparison case study of Asian minorities in postcolonial Uganda and Kenya generates new hypotheses about wha…
Race, risk, and American religious groups' views of Nazi Germany in 1935
What explains American religious groups' views of Nazi Germany before the U.S. entered the Second World War? Using a comparative-historical approach, we employ a novel set of data on 25 of America's most prominent religious denominations to answer this question. We find that two factors were crucial in explaining religious elite discourse about Hitler in the U.S. in 1935: whether leaders believed in white supremacy and whether their denominations…
Ethnic Cleansing: An Analysis of Conceptual and Empirical Ambiguity
Despite significant scholarly disagreement about its definition, core meaning, and corresponding cases, ethnic cleansing has escaped careful conceptual examination. This article identifies five key areas of conceptual confusion that undermine the integrity and utility of the concept. These include discrepancies over the core meaning of ethnic cleansing; tension between ethnic cleansing as a practice and a policy; the lack of boundedness between e…
Introducing the Government-Sponsored Mass Expulsion Dataset
This article introduces the Government-Sponsored Mass Expulsion (GSME) dataset documenting cross-border mass expulsion episodes around the world from 1900 to 2020. This new dataset focuses on mass expulsion policies in which governments systematically remove ethnic, racial, religious or national groups, en masse. The GSME dataset disaggregates mass expulsion from other exclusionary politics concepts to isolate policies of intentional group-based …
