Chatbots offer a magnificent bribe - a fast, frictionless route to information that bypasses the discomfort of learning. In this op-ed, we describe this as a Faustian bargain, in which we trade away what it means to be human & universities trade away their value www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Learning is complex, messy, emotional: AI can’t replicate that

ChatGPT and other AI tools may seem irresistible. But educators should beware, as they could end up trading away the thing that gives them value — the rich experience of slow learning

Great news: finally Miles Hewstone is exposed. I stopped citing him years ago, I warned friends/colleagues when I saw them publishing together, I informed as many people as possible about him. We all did. Had this piece been published 15 years ago, everyone would have already known. Shame on Oxford.

"Multiple men have remained in senior roles at Oxford for months or years after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged against them, Bloomberg found in a nine-month investigation based on interviews with almost 50 people as well as documents and other records."

The 1st session of this year's Psychology of Resistance Virtual Meetings is next Monday, October 13: We start with an interactive workshop to diversify our methodological toolbox to better investigate forms of resistance and repression in different contexts. To register: tinyurl.com/resistancere...

Psychological Research on Resistance and Repression: A Research Method Bazaar Interactive Workshop (90 mins) Led by Aya Adra, Fouad Bou Zeineddine, canan coşkan, Ali Teymoori, and Johanna Ray Vollhardt) Monday, Oct 13, 2025 Many questions in social psychological research on resistance and repression have not been systematically addressed– in part because of the methodological limitations and rigidities in the field, in addition to practical and ethical considerations. For example, how does one examine covert resistance under conditions of surveillance and risk, how does one access forms of everyday resistance that may not be articulated as such, how does one conduct research on resistance that is under repression without creating further risk or harm to the participant and/or to the research team, how does one access information about resistance under extremely violent and most repressive conditions, such as genocide? This session is an interactive methods workshop, a bazaar of ideas and research experience, where participants will share and swap knowledge about underutilized methods that have been or could be used to examine different forms of resistance (above all those forms of resistance that are understudied) in various contexts of violence and repression. The organizers will bring examples of a relevant, underutilized research method and share it with participants in a brief (5 min) blitz presentation. We also invite participants (optional, not required for participation) to bring along their methods, ideas, suggestions, questions and dilemmas, and experiences to share (5 mins max), with or without a slide or two. We will also discuss more general, overarching questions related to methodological limitations in research on resistance and repression and ways to address these. 7.00 am NYC, 8.00 Santiago (Chile), 12 (noon) London, 13.00 Barcelona, 14.00 Ramallah & Istanbul, 16.30 New Delhi, 19.00 Manila, 21.00 Brisbane.

EASP advertises scholarships for research visits to Israel, which decimated Palestinian universities & killed its academics. I'm sure that benefiting from "cultural immersion that extends learning well beyond the lab or library" compensates for the genocide & the thousands of murdered people.

"This application of Adorno’s maxim 'never again Auschwitz' has made of it the opposite of what he intended: a tool of [Germany's] Staatsräson instead of resistance against it." Must-read, authoritative analysis of Germany's misguided response to Gaza, unearthing gems from Adorno's work and more!

An essay I’ve written that reflects on Adorno‘s famous „Education after Auschwitz“ today, esp for Germans. blnreview.de/en/ausgaben/...

If you also want organisations with a spine who can speak truth to power when atrocities take place, then sign the petition and boycott the next #ISPP conference unless its current leadership decides to condemn the genocide in Gaza. Enough is enough. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
