@Sablebadger @StillIRise1963 I always intended to take a training on bystander intervention, and there seem to be more of them available online these days, so now I have even less of an excuse not to do it. https://righttobe.org/bystander-intervention-training/ #antiracism #antifascism #bystanderintervention

It's nearly 9/11, so it's time once again for us to all brush up on how to intervene if we see Islamophobic* harassment happening...

* These techniques also work great for defending people from transphobic, homophobic, racist, or other types of harassment!

Over the last few days I've posted my #academic #introduction & 4 posts outlining my main research interests with links to articles, videos, websites & podcasts

They are:
1. #EyewitnessIdentification
2. #BystanderIntervention
3. #TechForGood
4. #WiedemannSteinerSyndrome #WSS

If you're interested in any of them, give me a follow. I'm usually pretty good at following back & tooting your work too!

The rest of the time, I like #dogs #nature #food #creativity #friends #humour

I am interested in digital bystander intervention

While doing a PhD/PostDoc I worked for a company where we built a chatbot to help people document & report workplace harassment

I became interested in why witnesses don't report & what can be done to encourage & support them

I joined Mastodon a few days ago and posted an #introduction but haven’t had time to post anything since

My research interests are quite wide, so I thought I’d outline each in a separate post, to make it easier to find anyone with similar interests

They are:
1. #EyewitnessIdentification
2. #BystanderIntervention
3. #TechForGood
4. #WiedemannSteinerSyndrome #WSS
5. And I’ll do one for my #teaching roles

But as it’s the weekend (after another long week), it can wait!

@kaitclark Thanks so much for doing this. I'd like to be added please. I'm interested in
