Join us online on Nov. 15th (09.00 GMT)! In our next public session in the meeting series on the Psychology of Resistance in Repressive and Violent Contexts, Dr. Fouad Bou Zeineddine (University of Greenwich) will lead a 90-minute discussion on the question of political relevance in research on the psychology of resistance, including: Do we want academic research in the psychology of resistance to be used? Do we know enough that it can be used? Do resistance movements or opposition parties want what we have? What are the pipelines between academia and resistors, and do they need to be re-engineered? How strong is the potential for this research to be appropriated and misused by repressors? Without direct political influence, is the cultural impact of sharing this research with university students or the general public worthwhile, where that is possible? How do we reach people in places where such dissemination is repressed? How do we cope with the rising levels of censorship and suppression of such research even in more open societies? How do we go about improving its reach and impact in contexts where it is most needed, desired, and difficult to access? What, in the end, is the (societal) point of doing this research?
