Dr. Roberts' research explores the direction in which our cultural beliefs and world views are moving -- especially on a global scale. She is currently working to complete a 3-article project on change over time in worldwide religiosity. This project examines international survey data to understand whether (as secularization theorists have proposed) modernization indeed makes people less religious. Dr. Roberts wrote her dissertation, and has previously published, on the partial globalization of the acceptance of homosexuality. In other prior research, she has examined moral dimensions of the legal response to the Rwandan genocide. She has also co-authored a book with Cambridge University Press on the historic use and evolution of left-wing anti-Semitic rhetoric in West European politics.
