Join us for our first CCIT Seminar of the Semester, where we are joined by Assistant Professor Clara Vandeweerdt (KU) for a talk called Activist's Trade-off: Climate Disruption Buys Salience at a Cost. Disruptive non-violent protest in the name of climate action is on the rise, with more and more movements turning to non-normative actions in the hopes of creating policy change. So far, research has found mixed results regarding the effects of disruptive tactics on public opinion. In this talk, Clara will introduce the first study to measure effects on salience (awareness of climate change as a problem) side by side with other policy-relevant climate attitudes.
