Se responder como a grande maioria das pessoas, provavelmente acha que sim, que vivemos tempos de maior insegurança e que a criminalidade está cada vez mais presente nas nossas vidas.Porém, os dados contrariam essa perceção: a criminalidade violenta e grave não tem aumentado em Portugal e são os pequenos crimes que assumem maior peso na criminalidade registada.Mas, então, por que razão temos a sensação contrária? A psicóloga social Isabel Rocha Pinto dá a resposta na sua estreia no [IN] Pertinente Sociedade.Acompanhada pelo comunicador Hugo van der Ding, a especialista vai explicar como é que a perceção da insegurança se constrói – e como raramente acompanha a evolução efetiva da criminalidade – e esclarece também a razão pela qual o crime tem um papel essencial na proteção e validação de alguns valores fundamentais da sociedade, tais como a justiça e a igualdade.A dupla vai ainda explorar como as redes sociais e a informação consumida pelos cidadãos pode deixá-los mais vulneráveis a discursos que fomentam o medo e exacerbam a ideia de insegurança.A criminalidade vai ser o tema de destaque destes últimos quatro episódios de 2024 do [IN] Pertinente Sociedade.LINKS E REFERÊNCIAS ÚTEISSéries, documentários e vídeos«Black Mirror» (Netflix): temporada 2, episódio 2 - «White Bear»«Criminal UK» (Netflix): temporada 2, episódio 3 - «Danielle»«A Sociedade do medo», de Adriana Dutra«The Perception Vs.

[...] Este es el más importante y el primero de los mandamientos. Pero hay un segundo, parecido a este; dice: "Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo"» (Mat. 22: 37-40).En 1979, el psicólogo polaco Henri Tajfel comentó que «el ser humano tiene una tendencia innata a categorizarse en grupos excluyentes, construyendo parte de su identidad sobre la base de su pertenencia a ese grupo y forzando fronteras excluyentes con otros grupos ajenos al suyo». La razón de esto es la autoestima que derivamos de una identificación exclusiva. De modo que, una forma de aumentar mi autoestima, es decir, por ejemplo: «España es el mejor país del mundo»; y como soy española, me siento mejor (superior). Con esta visión, dividimos el mundo en «nosotros»contra «ellos», al categorizar a las personas que vamos conociendo. Las que no pertenecen a «nuestro» grupo tienen que tener características negativas (y si no las tienen las inventamos) para que podamos discriminarlas y así vernos positivamente a nosotros mismos. Esta es la base del prejuicio y la discriminación.*En la historia vemos que este fenómeno siempre ha existido. En épocas tribales tenía sentido, pues las tribus debían protegerse de amenazas externas para sobrevivir, pero en épocas posteriores no era cuestión de supervivencia, sino de prejuicios. Hasta que apareció en escena el hombre que no entiende de prejuicios, que no pertenece a ningún «grupo» porque ama a la humanidad al completo. Jesús no tenía la tendencia de ver el mundo en términos de «nosotros» contra «ellos», sino de «que todos sean uno; como tú, Padre, en mí y yo en ti» (Juan 17: 21, RV95).Lamentablemente, sus discípulos tuvieron que sufrir las consecuencias del prejuicio cuando recibieron la categorización de «cristianos», que pervive hasta hoy. Pero los cristianos no se salvaron de la tendencia; ellos devolvieron a los que no pertenecían a su grupo la etiqueta de «paganos». Esta palabra y otra parecida, «mundanos», sigue viva dos mil años después; pero ¿de verdad necesitamos usarla? ¿Nos hace falta sentirnos superiores a quienes no son de nuestra fe? ¿Tiene sentido ver el mundo en términos de cristianos/mundanos, occidentales/orientales, izquierdas/derechas, por poner tres ejemplos?Creo que es hora de superar esa tendencia. Seres humanos: eso es lo que todos somos. Y amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas es la argamasa que nos permite amar al prójimo como a uno mismo.«Nuestra verdadera nacionalidad es la humanidad». H. G. Wells *H. Tajfel y J. C. Turner, «An Integrative Theory of Intergroup Conflict», The Social Psychology of Intergroup Relations (1979), pp. 33, 47. 

“Something that has become even more clear to me is that in all the different ways that we're doing the work [of social justice], we need support,” says Stephanie Hicks. Stephanie Hicks is the founder and director of Yoga for Black Lives, a series of donation-based yoga classes to support Chicago organizations resisting state violence against Black people. She is a lecturer at The Program on Intergroup Relations and a faculty affiliate of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at U-M.

Do you think you can tell someone is queer by listening to their voice? Dr Fabio Fasoli is here to tell us all about gay voice stereotypes, auditory gaydar, and voice-based bias. We talk about gay voice acting in 90s sitcoms, learn surprising facts about lesbian voices and employability, and discuss the intersection of foreign accents and gender-nonconforming voices.

Despite women's advancement in the overall workplace, a broken pipeline remains with far too many qualified warrior women not advancing to the top levels. If you have ever felt frustrated when you have done all the things to advance, but still you are passed over, or if you have ever felt like the blame has been placed on your shoulders…that you have deficiencies that need to be “fixed” in order to advance when in reality there are systemic inequities and organizational gender biases and barriers that are holding you back, then THIS is an episode you don't want to miss. Leaders and decision makers…you have a choice to make. Do you want to be a defender of the status quo, or an agent of change? Leadership can create positive change and have an impact immediately, if we are willing to walk boldly towards our unconscious bias, acknowledge it, and interrupt bias patterns. Don't miss this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast to learn more about what you can do to be a part of creating the change we need to level the playing field and foster an equitable workplace culture where we can all thrive.

Stephanie Hicks, PhD is a Lecturer at the Program on Intergroup Relations at the University of Michigan and completed her master's degree and PhD in Educational Policy Studies – Social Foundations at the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Stephanie sat down with Google to unpack what it means to be Black in America and discusses the catalysts, realizations and misperceptions of the Black experience through the lens of her own personal experiences and her studies on intergroup dialogue and DEI policy.  In celebration of Black History Month, members of the Black Googler Network created a film that explores their past experiences as it pertains to their initial realizations of being Black. This project was inspired from the 2017 CNN feature of, The First Time I Realized I Was Black, and the 1903 book by W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk. Audience members of the live talk just finished watching this incredibly powerful film that showcases some poignant experiences that Black people in America face on a daily basis.

Rumi Forum, Prince George's County Office of Human Rights, and Prince George's County Memorial Library System presented a virtual panel discussion on “How Do We Deal With Covid, Social Injustice, and Polarization?” on February 3, 2022, for a conversation for our time, in recognition of World Interfaith Harmony Week. How do we build and use interfaith harmony to develop restoration, reconciliation, and resiliency as applicable to the world that we live in now? We are plagued: by the Covid-19 pandemic, by social injustice, by economic inequities, limited and inequitable access to resources, environmental injustice, and the polarization of our times. Three faith leaders will consider these difficult questions and provide hope and practical solutions to taking steps towards restoration, reconciliation, and resiliency today. Panelists Rahmah A. Abdulaleem, Esq. - Executive Director, KARAMAH: Muslim Women Lawyers for Human Rights   Rabbi Abbi Sharofsky - Director, Intergroup Relations, Jewish Community Relations Council   Pastor Charles A.

On this week's episode Claire and Haili discuss collective trauma, its impacts on all of us, and how collective trauma impacts the work we do as social workers.  In the midst of COVID-19 and so many other prevalent events that have happened over the past few years (ongoing school shootings,  ongoing mass shootings in public spaces, ongoing violence toward people of color that goes unreconciled, natural disasters like floods and wildfires) the impacts of collective trauma become clearer every day in the field, and become heavier on everybody's hearts every day in life. Through a five point discussion, Claire and Haili  dive into the history behind collective trauma, the prevalence of collective trauma, how collective trauma manifests itself and its effects, events contributing to it today, and what we can do about it. When talking about current events this week, we want to be careful about retraumatization in the wake of the school shooting at Oxford High School. If at any time you feel as though this is too much, please feel free to skip ahead, pause or end the episode. Signs to look for when you are starting to feel overwhelmed may include muscle tension, an increase in heart rate, your mind racing, changes in body temperature. Take care of yourself, because these are extremely difficult things for us to be talking about. Viewer discretion is advised.Source Notes:Branscombe N. R., Ellemers N., Spears R., Doosje B.

In a surprise move earlier this week, Nikki Haley announced that she would be stepping down from her role as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The statement prompted an immediate flurry of speculation in D.C. and on social media regarding her next steps. For the pro-Israel community, Haley’s departure also raises questions on who will replace her as America’s voice at the UN and whether the next ambassador will be able to fill Haley’s shoes in combating rampant anti-Israel bias at the UN. Joining us to discuss Haley’s departure is Ron Kampeas, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s Washington Bureau Chief. We’re also joined by Rabbi Noam Marans, AJC Director of Interreligious and Intergroup Relations, to discuss the AJC-convened Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council (MJAC) and the successful passage of a hate crimes bill backed by both AJC and MJAC.

Is Congress stepping up its efforts to combat rising anti-Semitism? In recent days, calls have rung out from Capitol Hill to fill the long-vacant position of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism at the U.S. State Department. Also, a new bill was introduced that would help define anti-Semitism to better fight it in schools and on college campuses across the nation. Joining us to share his insights from Washington, D.C., is AJC Associate Executive Director for Policy Jason Isaacson, who has worked closely with members of Congress on both issues. We are also joined by Emily Soloff, AJC National Associate Director for Interreligious and Intergroup Relations, to discuss how the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has become a ritual of anti-Israel demonization and consider what that means for Presbyterian-Jewish relations.

Gender stereotypes persist in society. Many of these stereotypes are prescriptive, indicating how men and women should behave in social situations. However, an outstanding question is whether these normative gender beliefs apply equally to men and women of additional social categories. In this seminar, Sa-Kiera explores this question using an intersectional approach by asking participants to indicate the desirability of men, women, and people of different sexual orientations and races displaying a series of masculine and feminine traits. The results clearly show that although the category “man” and “woman” have different prescriptive stereotypes that haven’t substantively changed since 2002, race and sexual orientation substantively alter the landscape of these gendered stereotypes. These findings have implications for norm violation accounts of discrimination.

Politics, debates and other timely issues are likely to spark controversy and divide public opinion on our respective campuses. How can we encourage students to engage in these conversations with courage and respect? What role does family, media, pop culture, campus culture, and social media play in forming our truth and beliefs? Are we obligated in our role as educators to set aside our personal opinions, identities, and emotions in discussion of politics and other hot button issues? What are effective “ground rules” for dialogue that facilitate student learning about alternative narratives and perspectives? How do we find the balance between unrestricted free speech and hateful/hurtful speech? On this episode of Student Affairs Live, join host Tony Doody as he explores these questions and many more with Dr. Marcella Runell Hall, Vice President for Student Life at Mount Holyoke College, Dr. Kelly E. Maxwell, faculty member in and academic Co-Director of the Program on Intergroup Relations at the University of Michigan, and Dr. Demetri Morgan, Assistant Professor of Higher Education at the Loyola University Chicago School of Education.

The role of religion in intergroup and international conflict has been the subject of vigorous debate in the media and among scholars in recent years: Does religion merely serve as a mask for struggles that are really about power and resources? Or do religions create incompatible values that lead directly to such clashes? Is the role of religion in conflict largely organizational,providing an institutional framework for funneling human and financial resources towards the perpetuation of existing conflicts? Or do religious messages of peace and tolerance reduce conflict and promote better intergroup relations? In this talk and the discussion to follow, Steve Neuberg will try to answer these questions based on the findings of the Global Group Relations Project, an interdisciplinary, multi-year project funded by the National Science Foundation that was started with seed funding from the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict.
