Exciting news! Our new paper on blatant dehumanization in cultural traditions has just been published in Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology.
In this work, we examine how support for traditions such as Black Pete in the Netherlands and Native American mascots in the United States can be linked not only to differences in people’s beliefs about cultural traditions, but (surprise!) also to deeper dynamics of hierarchy, power, and dehumanization.
I am especially grateful to my colleague Daudi van Veen, who took the lead in driving this project to completion, and to Nour Kteily, whose insights and collaboration have been invaluable throughout.
