Faculty member Craig Blatz investigates the role of political ideology on desire for redress for as yet non-redressed historical injustices. He explores how political ideology affects perceptions that a historical injustice caused present and past suffering, and how perceptions of suffering predict support for redress of a historical injustice. He has assessed these attitudes among descendants of an African-Canadian community (Africville) that was unjustly destroyed in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada and majority group members who share their community. He has also assessed Aboriginal, African, and White Americans’ opinions of redress for trans-Atlantic slavery and the historical mistreatment of Aboriginal North Americans.

Rezarta Bilali investigates how national and ethnic identities correspond to legitimizing ideologies, attributions of responsibility, and biases in historical narratives regarding conflicts between Turks and Armenian and Kurdish communities. She has also studied how national and ethnic identification relate to trust in society and politics among people in Albania and the United States.
