ACES’s Politics and Public theme group affiliate, Linda Bos has been awarded an SSH NWO-M grant to study how the moral language of politicians and journalists guides citizens.

ACES affiliate Linda Bos has been awarded an SSH NWO-M grant to study the impact of political moral language on journalists and voters. Despite the significant consequences of morality, little is known about how Dutch politicians use moral language, how journalists amplify this use of moral language, and how citizens’ moral judgment is shaped by public moral discourse. The research project studies (1) the dynamics of moral rhetoric by Dutch political elites and journalists, and investigates (2) the impact of these moral messages on citizens. To remedy the negative consequences of moral messaging, researchers (3) test several interventions. Congratulations Linda!
