Welcome to the Bridging Divides Lab at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)!

We study what divides us and how to bring people together.

Our Current Research

Our research focuses on conflict and reconciliation, exploring topics such as perceived victimhood and intergroup conflict, reconciliation in conflict contexts, and the use of media interventions to promote peaceful coexistence.
