The contact hypothesis is an old idea in social psychology. It posits that under the right circumstances, bringing people from different groups together can reduce prejudice. In this episode, we discuss a new field experiment by Salma Mousa testing whether putting Iraqi Christians and Muslims on soccer teams together can rebuild social cohesion after war. Part of our conversation focuses on the direct implications of this work for the contact hypothesis. We also discuss how this study stands out against some common patterns in social science research. Why, despite the long history of research and intuitive appeal of the contact hypothesis, have no studies like this been done before? How did this paper benefit from integrating rigorous quantitative methods with a careful understanding of history and context? How did a commitment to not just the letter, but also the spirit, of preregistration keep the conclusions aligned so well with the data? Plus: We answer a letter about whether the COVID pandemic means this is an especially bad time to start a Ph.D. program.

This talk uses first person interviews to present the on-the-ground attitudes to peace in post-ISIS Iraq. The international community, led by America, regularly proclaims a commitment to the integrity of Iraq, a country bitterly and often violently divided along sectarian-ethnic lines (Arab Sunni, Arab Shia and Kurdish). This talk uses first person interviews to present the on-the-ground attitudes to peace in post-ISIS Iraq, after first sketching the post-invasion events which led to the seeming stalemate we are seeing today. Interviews with soldiers on the frontline with ISIS, Kurdish political, military and intelligence leadership, and civilians in the cities all point to a desire for complete Kurdish independence, but also show sharp divisions even within this group. Interviews with Sunnis fighting both for and against ISIS and also with Sunni civilian refugees fleeing ISIS show a bitterness with the status quo which points to a future cycle of violence. Improvements require action from the central government in Baghdad, which in the current climate are difficult to imagine. Possible actions from all groups will be considered with an eye to what has failed in the past 14 years to build a stable, flourishing Iraq.
On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Walter Smolarek fills in for Brian Becker and is joined by activist Dr. Dahlia Wasfi, Mojtaba Masood, Iraqi journalist and filmmaker; and by Mike Prysner, a former U.S. soldier in Iraq who is now an anti-war activist and journalist with TeleSur. As the battle for Mosul resumes and Iraqi forces push closer towards the last part of the city still held by Daesh, what will a post-ISIS Iraq look like? With the U.S. ramping up its presence in both Iraq and Syria and conducting a brutal bombing campaign that has killed at least hundreds of civilians, are there any signs that the region will see stability and self-determination in the near future? And will ISIS just emerge in another form if the root causes of sectarianism are not addressed?
Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
David Swanson writes that war is always based on lies and that is obvious as the US becomes more committed to greater military involvement in Iraq and Syria each day. In this episode we will look at the roots of the crises in Iraq and Syria. Where did ISIS come from? What are the options in intervening and should we intervene at all? We speak with Matthew Hoh, Senior Fellow at the Center for International Policy who worked on US policy on Iraq for the Pentagon and State Department and is now a strong critic of US foreign policy.
