Theme:
We are interested in papers from various disciplines that address “The Science of Hate.” This may include research and knowledge about hate’s origins and manifestations seen through the lenses of empirical sciences that rely on experimental, quantifiable data or the scientific method and emphasize reliability and validity. We are also interested in papers that explore solutions and strategies for addressing hate from an empirical perspective, as well as methods and content that may combat the manifestation of hate. From a legal perspective, an analysis of how science was used in court decisions to either supported or challenge cases involving discrimination, racism, or hateful acts. A special invitation is extended to scholars from disciplines such as biology, medicine, chemistry, economics, genetics, cybernetic evolution, and the neurosciences. Submissions are welcome from all disciplines.
