This project is an on-going collaboration with Dr. Jordi Díez (Guelph) and other researchers in the United States and Costa Rica to understand the contextual and individual factors to shape attitudes towards rights for same-sex couples. Papers use existing surveys in 18 countries plus survey experiments in Argentina (with plans to expand to Costa Rica) to understand the dynamics of attitudes, including how issue framing and contact with (married) homosexuals impacts support for expanded rights.
Impact
Deeper understanding of sources of prejudice and tolerance, with an aim to improving opportunities to promote tolerant attitudes. Developing enhanced research collaborations among those working at the nexus of public opinion, sexuality, and public policies.
Student Experience
Some of this research has been incorporated into undergraduate and graduate courses.
