Join us for our next Hiking Seminar on Saturday, 28th September! 🥾 📍Meeting point: Széll Kálmán tér, “Under the clock” ⏰ 10:30am - 2:30pm 🗺️ Destination: Hűvösvölgy-Hármashatárhegy 📝 Topic: “Change” Event link: fb://event/?id=465961206415164

Does the fragility of national facilitate or deter cross-group solidarity? @kendeanna demonstrated convincing evidence of two pathways - one via conservative ideologies and another via moral obligations, which are activated based on the characteristics of the outgroup!

Allies, how should you talk to your LGBTQ+ friends about LGBTQ+ discrimination? Éva Gáti provided experimental evidence that messages focusing on social change ("We need change!") rather than social connection ("We love you!") were more empowering and comforting for LGBTQ+ folks!
