Perspectives from the social sciences
Terrorist attacks on and since September 11th have stimulated
public soul-searching, military and diplomatic responses, and efforts
to reform public policy. Both the attacks and responses to them
have raised a host of questions about social organization, basic
social institutions, how people mobilize amid crises, and how differences
of culture and politics shape conflict and cooperation.
This website features an extraordinary and still-expanding collection
of essays by leading social scientists from around the country and
the world. These are efforts by social scientists to bring theoretical
and empirical knowledge to bear on the events of Sept. 11, their
precursors, and what comes after.
These essays are intended as resources for teachers -- especially
college and university instructors -- who want to address the unfolding
events in their courses from the perspectives of the social sciences

STUDENT PRESS REPORTS: Xenophobia at School
Americans' outrage after 9.11 spilled over into inexcusable slurs
and even violence against Arab, Muslim and South Asian Americans.
The outbreak of American xenophobia lives, not only on our streets,
but also in businesses, in houses of worship and, perhaps most sadly,
in schools. As Robin Chen Delos reports, students at her Reston,
Virginia, high school harassed their Arab and Muslim peers. The
abuse that Chen Delos described was so damaging that school officials
barred her story from the student newspaper. Tolerance.org invites
you to take a peek into the hallways of one American high school
where sorrow over the events of 9.11 disintegrated into bigotry
and censorship.
