Violence and Forced Migration
By: Kristin E. Fabbe
Description
Professor Fabbe’s second area of research focuses on individual and collective responses to violence and forced migration. Under this research stream, she has implemented large survey projects in Iraq, Turkey, and Morocco. Her work in Turkey tests the notion that violence begets violence by investigating how exposure to barrel bombing affects Syrian refugees’ attitudes toward peace and reconciliation. Her research in Iraq examines how legacies of violence shape combatants’ propensity to exhibit cognitive empathy and humanizing behavioral tendencies toward their enemies. Finally, through a nationally representative survey of Moroccan citizens, Professor Fabbe is examining the determinants of anti-migrant sentiment in the global south.
