The University of Utah Hate, Aggression, Terror, and Extremism Research (HATER) Lab is composed of faculty and students with research interests in all aspects of bias and conflict. We apply qualitative and quantitative research methods to problems including hate crimes and organized hate, social issues and inequalities, radicalization processes, and political violence.
