10 years ago I met with anti-poverty NGOs @WorldVisionAus and @GlblCtzn to talk about tracking commitment to combating global poverty, over time. Paper out now. I'm proud of this work - its about time! @WLouisUQ @LydiaWoodyatt

I’ve seen quite a few folks sharing MLK’s beautiful quote to the effect that riots are the voice of the unheard.

Yes… but remember that this was only half of his analysis of riots as vehicles of change.

Have been delighted to host a visit from my friend and colleague @WLouisUQ this week. She is pictured here competing with the magpies for the floor in my socially distanced, outdoor, lab meeting yesterday. Likely to be the last face to face meeting for a while....

This is our statement, as Editors of the British Journal of Social Psychology, in response to #coronavirus #COVID19 . Social psychology has an important role to play here: let's make our voices heard.

On point, as usual https://t.co/XYoZl1zfdu

Woohoo! V fun riffing to present our MINSOH model re autonomous and authentic collective harm-doing. Some evidence supports the intuition that people who do evil are conflicted or reluctant. But through internalising norms, people can also become self-determined in doing harm....

@JoRayVo And mine! Looks fascinating.

[Alex Haslam @alexanderhaslam]

This may be true.
But who is the 'we' that the reference to 'our' imagines?
All the evidence (of which there is a lot*) suggests that if this is defined too narrowly, then so will be the party's appeal at the ballot box.
Getting this right is Labour's key leadership challenge

A nice short video that summarizes our paradoxical thinking work, following our review paper published in @SPSSI's SIPR! Thanks again @jetten_j and Naomi Ellemers for all the hard work you invested in the paper, and @SPSSI for making this video!

@DanielSkorich @QldPolice @xr_seq Disgusting. Thank you for standing up Dan, Katie, all.

We're almost half way through our ERC project (@CICexeter). Thanks to conservative budgeting & the pound being "not quite as strong as it was", we have extra money to spend. I'll be advertising a two year post doc soon. Let me know if you might be interested, and pls retweet!

Excited to share that the #ARC have funded us (Michael Wenzel, Danny Osborne, @LindaSkitka and I) to study the psychology of hope and prospection as a means of overcoming political apathy and despair. Woot!
