DESCRIPTION:Prof. Zeira will discuss her project 'The Ethnicization of Civi
 l Conflict'&nbsp\; based on research she has conducted with Alexandra Sieg
 el\, University of Colorado-Boulder.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Ethnic conflicts are oft
 en seen as especially violent and\nintractable. But how and why do some co
 nflicts become ``ethnic"? While\nscholars of ethnic politics often point t
 o the ``ethnicization" of\nconflict\,&nbsp\; systematic empirical evidence
  demonstrating this process of\nethnicization\, and explaining when and wh
 y it occurs\, remains rare. This\nproject fills this gap through a large-s
 cale\, systematic study of the sources\nand dynamics of ethnicization and 
 de-ethnicization in the case of the ongoing\nconflict in Syria\, as well a
 s in broader comparative perspective including\nYemen\, Iraq\, and Ukraine
 . Employing a new conceptual and methodological\nframework for studying id
 entity change\, we systematically trace the prevalence\nof ethnic\, non-et
 hnic and counter-ethnic rhetoric within a given conflict over\nboth time a
 nd space by applying machine learning methods to social media data.\nBecau
 se ethnic rhetoric both reflects and shapes the strength of ethnic\nidenti
 ties\, our approach also provides the first\, truly dynamic\, time-sensiti
 ve\nmeasure of the shifting salience of ethnic identities during conflict.
