Thanks to everyone who came to our symposium! I am so happy to have put it together with @cgrodriguezr @emily_kubin and my amazing co-chair Andrew Dawson! I lost my voice right when we ended but it was well worth it.
Those on the right perceive hate speech as similarly severe across target groups whereas people on the left perceive hate speech as more severe for some target groups than others #SPSP2024 One finding in a very cool symposium from @cgrodriguezr @MertcanGungor_ @emily_kubin
