Alex Lover from the @jake_fisher group presents new computational approaches to parse subtitles and film scripts for extracting moral conflict paattern. Excellent presentation, way to go Alex! What a nice memory of some MNL work with @freddy_hopp and @jake_fisher. Nostalgia!

Terrific talk from @MortezDehghani at the Media and Morality Conference on binding moral foundations and hate speech. Particularly group oriented values are associated with seeing acts of hate as more justified. A fascinating research program with real-world implications.

MNL Alumni @freddy_hopp explains neural dissociable representations of morality and their use in decoding (predicting) graded perceived moral wrongness and ultimately moral narratives. Stay tuned, more to come soon ..

Kudos to @musainayatmalik who presents our work on the global representation of morality and its ecological determinants at the Media and Morality conference in Buffulo. It is a terrific conference with many new and in part provocative ideas.
