RESEARCH INSIGHTS: Diagnosing Religious-Group Conflict
Peter Ochs
"CTI’s 2018-19 Research Workshop on Religion and Violence provided a wonderful setting for my current research on “Value Predicate Analysis” (VPA): a field-testable technique for diagnosing tendencies toward violence or peace among religious groups in regions of potential conflict. I recall smiling, sometime during my spring residency, when I realized that, since 1992, CTI had been the nurturing environment for the entire line of thinking that preceded and cradled my current work."
