As long as Galtung's triangle continues to be a standard in peace studies 101 classes, I think we need to also include its critiques and extensions. In my argument, the framework that so usefully makes systemic harm visible to new learners also makes responsibility and justice invisible.

What if "structural violence" isn’t always as faceless as we assume? @juliehawke.bsky.social's concept of institutional violence challenges Galtung’s classic triad of direct, cultural and structural violence by asking us to look more closely at attribution. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jogs...

I would like to say you're welcome to all of my sociology colleagues who use American Community Survey (ACS) data because a nice enumerator knocked during bed and bath-time, and I answered every question while body-blocking naked and/or screaming children from the door.

Remember I told you about the work we have been doing at @howtobuildup on the #polarizationfootprint a few months back Find out more on the methodology we piloted in Kenya. Coming soon to EU 👇👇👇 bsky.app/profile/guyb... @juliehawke.bsky.social @allancheboi.bsky.social @lukethorburn.com

TB testing for new students is in room 105. My office is 'O 105.' With all the knocks and redirections this morning, I just think I'm missing good opportunities. Oh you thought we were testing for tuberculosis? This is a Toxic Boyfriend screening. A Trust Building exercise. Therapeutic breathing...

🔔 (new paper!) You might have heard of the "Habermas Machine", an AI-human pipeline that is really good at finding common ground between ideologically diverse groups, at least in lab settings. But can this kind of approach help in real world conflicts?

A diagram of the process used in the paper that this thread announces. The effort consisted of four dialogue cycles with peacebuilders: three uninational dialogues cycles conducted respectively with
Israeli Jews, Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, and Palestinian citizens of Israel, followed by a final joint dialogue involving
all three groups. Each dialogue cycle involved a process to find common ground among participants followed by a deliberation on the
results of that process. The common ground process started with a collective dialogue, then bridging-based ranking was used to
identify common ground ’bridging statements’ that were distilled into articulate ’collective statements’ via LLM and reviewed by
human experts before being shared back with participants for a final vote.

I just finished a syllabus for a hopeful future course that I want to teach so, so badly. In 3-5 years can a university hire me just to run this course? DYSTOPIAN OR UTOPIAN FUTURES: Technology, Peace, and Conflict through Science Fiction FALL 3024 (👀) SYLLABUS & COURSE SCHEDULE

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate. The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

you are no longer on twitter@twitter.rip · 2y ago

this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal
