As the United States reflects on an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, more Americans have expressed concern with rising political violence in the country. This webinar convenes scholars and practitioners in a conversation about how to de-escalate and sideline election-related violence. Drawing on historical and comparative scholarly research and practical experience, our panelists articulate what we know about the causes, dynamics, and reduction of election-related violence in deeply polarized contexts.
Speakers include:
- Hardy Merriman, President, International Center on Nonviolent Conflict; Author of “Harnessing Our Power to End Political Violence (HOPE)”
- Lilliana Mason, Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University, Co-author of Radical American Partisanship: Mapping Violent Hostility, Its Causes, and the Consequences for American Democracy
- Erica Chenoweth (Moderator), Academic Dean for Faculty Engagement and the Frank Stanton Professor of the First Amendment at the Harvard Kennedy School
