In this virtual talk, Professor Gilly Leshed will present the Xenophobia Meter Project (XMP), a cross-institutional collaboration that is responding to the rise of radical, racist, and nationalist politics. This global phenomenon has incited an unwitting habituation of the public toward hate-mongering against immigrants as part of normal political campaigns in many jurisdictions.

The Xenophobia Meter Project is funded by the Migrations initiative at Cornell, with additional support from an Einaudi Center seed grant. Read about it in the Chronicle.
