Dehumanization - the belief that other groups of people are less than fully human - is a strong predictor of intergroup violence. In this video, neuroscientist Emile Bruneau of the Annenberg School for Communication's Peace and Conflict Neuroscience Lab describes the prevalence of these beliefs all over the world, and how we might use research on dehumanization to help change these beliefs in order to reduce intergroup conflict. Bruneau also ties in a personal story of his experience of dehumanization in South Africa.
"In Conversation with Emile Bruneau" is a video series Bruneau envisioned to explain the fundamentals of his research into intergroup conflict and tie them into his personal experiences. The other three videos in the series include an introduction as well as videos on the topics of empathy and metaperceptions:

Sadly, Bruneau passed away from brain cancer in September, 2020. These videos are part of his efforts to ensure that the important work of bringing peace to the world through science would live on.
