Here's a great review of where we are in the trigger warning debate. It's not just that they don't help; they might actively harm some students with anxiety, over the long run. From @JeffreyASnyder and @AmnaUncensored

Us vs Them "tribalisms demand to know whose side I am on. I am expected to swap one form of assimilation “theirs” for another kind of conformity “ours.” viewpoint diversity values me for my individuality. It liberates me from having to be an avatar of somebody else’s narrative."

“Humans, universally, respond badly to being blamed… the ego kicks in as a shield whenever we feel threatened. For tough conversations to succeed, emotional defenses must be lowered all-around…”

“Women have a lot more to say about how universities are run and the content of the classes than when I was an undergraduate… men were used to running them as men’s clubs… I think it’s good that it’s quite different…”

The Threat to Academic Freedom … From Academics by Lee Jussim https://t.co/JBFUfLEIsO

[Brian Nosek (@[email protected]) @BrianNosek]

Scholarly critique, holiday style:

If unsure, ask a question instead of making an assertion

If your argument relies on assuming others' intentions, probably not a good argument

If your argument must invoke another's identity, probably not a good argument

Reduce judgmentalism

[The Dark Fiddling Pirate Jussim @PsychRabble]

Shocked. Never saw such a thing before.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Before arguing with friends or family around the Thanksgiving table, take a look at the science behind arguing better. And it'll never hurt to try this: "Listen to people, get them to think about their own experience, and highlight your common humanity." https://t.co/AZC9kpqoqx
