  14. I got a good 1800 words written this morning... I'm slightly annoyed that I seem to just be reiterating the same points over again, but that's how the assessment guidelines have it set out, and I don't trust this particular lecturer to be able to see that (for example) I've actually answered points 4, 6, and 9 in the same paragraphs... so I'm just writing it slightly differently 3 different times.

    Anyways, I'm enjoying writing about Sisters Inside.

  19. Quick! Get her!

    "A student at the #University of #Exeter has alleged that she was subjected to a torrent of #antisemitic abuse on #campus, despite not being #Jewish, simply due to her work with a #Holocaust #education charity.

    #AmberleyThay, 20, a third-year history student who works as a regional ambassador for the Holocaust Educational Trust ( #HET), claimed to have been labelled a “mouthpiece for #Israel” thanks to her advocacy for more comprehensive teaching about the #Shoah.

    She has been involved with the charity for four years, first engaging with it during a visit to #Auschwitz as part of its Lessons from Auschwitz project."

  20. "A new #study claims that individuals possessing higher levels of the personality trait openness are less prone to #antisemitic attitudes, and that this relationship is partially mediated by interpersonal contact with #Jewish individuals. This is based on #research -published in the August issue of #PersonalityandIndividualDifferences.

    #TaliaMorstead and #AnitaDeLongis from the Department of #Psychology at the #University of #BritishColumbia conducted the study. The #researchers set out to explore the #psychosocial mechanisms underlying antisemitic attitudes, noting that “#antisemitism is an enduring phenomenon with parallels to other forms of #prejudice yet demonstrates a distinctive capacity to adapt in rhetorical form to the prevailing #sociocultural context."

  24. Her #faith betrayed her:
    The #scandal rocking #TruettMcConnellUniversity

    A former #Truett McConnell #Universitystudent, Hayle Swinson, says she was #groomed and #abused for years by administrator #BradleyReynolds—while the #school’s leaders ignored warnings and #petitions.

    Now, with the president on leave and an outside investigation underway, the scandal is shaking this #Christian #university to its core.
