White House Presentation
Morteza Dehghani will be presenting his work on morally motivated hate at the White House at the end of May 2024.
“The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), along with the National Security Council (NSC) and the Domestic Policy Council (DPC), committed in the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism to launching an interagency effort to understand hate incidents and eliminate the impediments to recognizing, reporting, and preventing them. With support and leadership from the U.S. National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Justice, and the National Institutes of Health, this effort is intended to complement existing initiatives and investments aimed at improving our awareness of hate and bias-related incidents experienced by a diverse array of communities across the country with the goal of informing current and future evidence-based policies and programs.”
Congratulations to Morteza on the recognition of his research, and his being a part of this important initiative!
