dreamer_easyMuslims and Islam: Key findings in the U.S. and around the world (Pew Research Center, 9 August 2017)
How liars create the illusion of truth (Mind Hacks, 11 November, 2016). "Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not. Understanding this effect can help you avoid falling for propaganda, says psychologist Tom Stafford."
I used to think Australia had no history of slavery. It becomes ever more obvious I was wrong. Queensland class action over unpaid wages for Indigenous people 'setting a national precedent' (ABC, 23 September 2016). | Blackbirding: Australia's history of luring, tricking and kidnapping Pacific Islanders (ABC, 17 September 2017) | Australians 'just starting to wake up' to historical South Sea Islander slavery: Jeff McMullen (ABC, 18 September 2017) | ETA: Slavery claims as seasonal workers from Vanuatu paid nothing for months' work (SMH, 27 March 2017)
Right-Wing Extremists Are a Bigger Threat to America Than ISIS (Newsweek, 4 February 2016) | Globally, terrorism is on the rise - but little of it occurs in Western countries (ABC, 17 November 2015)
Study shows discrimination interacts with genetics and impacts health (Medical XPress, 21 December 2016). The most striking, and I think heartbreaking, thing about this study is the finding that discrimination against your friends and family was more damaging than discrimination against yourself. | Research finds daily discrimination sickens African-Americans (Medical XPress, 21 December 2016)
Hard-wired: The brain's circuitry for political belief (phys.org, 23 December 2016) "Political beliefs are like religious beliefs in the respect that both are part of who you are and important for the social circle to which you belong... To consider an alternative view, you would have to consider an alternative version of yourself."
The Human Zoo: Documentary sheds light on stolen Aboriginal people 'treated as animals' (ABC, 28 January 2017). The horror of Indigenous Australians kidnapped and displayed as exhibits leaves me speechless.
