Dear Hot Politics Lab followers,

Our weekly lab meetings are back after the summer break! We compiled an exciting program for this semester, which you can find on our websitehttps://www.hotpolitics.eu/. The first meeting will be this Friday (13th of September) from 3pm (CET) - 4pm (CET). Giuliana Spadaro (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) will discuss how individuals with higher institutional trust show lower closeness-based favoritism. You can join the meetings as always via this Teams linkhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_N2UyYWI0NmItOTQ2OC00MTIwLThjMzItNmY5N2ZlOGY5ZDIx%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22a0f1cacd-618c-4403-b945-76fb3d6874e5%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%2254604ccb-6c6e-4644-a9a7-725af2e0d101%22%7d or meet us at the Common Room of the political science department at the University of Amsterdam (REC B9.22).
