| Description | My PhD thesis examines the impact of threatening events on intergroup conflict and mobilisation. While we know a lot about what makes some places more prone to violence than others, we know comparatively little about what makes some moments in time more violent. In life of this, the first chapter of the dissertation, which is forthcoming in the European Sociological Review, demonstrates that threatening events had a substantial impact on anti-refugee violence during the European refugee crisis. Importantly, the paper demonstrates that some events may not only increase the amount of conflict, but also alter the structural conditions under which such conflict emerges in the first place. |
| Exploitation Route | The study shows that future sociological research on intergroup conflict should pay attention to potential interactions between the timing and space of intergroup contention. |
