Agreed! And to also have students think about why there is such an organized movement to denigrate, prevent, and stigmatize asking this very obvious question about the organization of society? #CriticalRaceTheory #Sociology #SocialConstructs #MetaCognition

European schools measure violence (WHO/UNICEF) but refuse to track individual accountability. Without mandatory registries for racial and systemic harassment, institutions downgrade targeted abuse to minor peer conflict. This isn't education—it's the normalization of discrimination.

Higher ed operates on an obscurantist, neoreactionary blueprint, functioning as a holding pen rather than real skill building. Sinking 7 years into traditional universities while AI rewrites capital is economic suicide. Families double down to preserve dogmatic control.

The Stanford Prison Experiment (1971) and Milgram's work on obedience demonstrated how ordinary individuals, once placed in a role defined by a costume or a badge, abandon their own moral judgment to conform to the expectations of the group or authority.

New article by our colleague Niklas Pernhaupt et al. in the Nordic Journal of Comparative and International #Education #NJCIE
📝"Navigating the Maze: #Reflexivity as a Critical Skill in Spatialised #Youth Transitions"

Part of the abstract of the article. Full abstract available via link. Abstract: In contemporary debates on educational quality, learning outcomes are often framed in terms of measurable competences and performance indicators. However, this approach fails to identify reflexivity as a key learning outcome and a central transversal skill in today’s fast-changing and increasingly uncertain societies. Reflexivity is required for identifying and mobilising the knowledge and competences needed to reach one’s goals, and it necessitates understanding the surrounding opportunity structures. Further, we maintain that policy measures can impede or promote reflexivity, which is embedded in institutional arrangements and socio-spatial contexts.

We explored 1) how young people in vulnerable situations displayed reflexivity in educational and school-to-work transitions and disruptions in differing regions in Austria, Finland, and Portugal, and 2) how their reflexivity was supported, ignored, or hindered by their lived experiences of educational and labour market policies and practices. The comparative design enabled examining how distinct transition regimes and socio-spatial configurations shape the development and limits of reflexivity.

Our data consist of biographical narrative interviews with young people in vulnerable situations (N=67). From qualitative thematic analysis, three key themes emerged: 1) opportunities for reflexivity on educational pathways, 2) reflexivity on individual vulnerabilities, and 3) (lacking) institutional support for reflexivity.

I'm wondering whether anyone has heard of AI being used in academic hiring (for faculty/postdoc positions)? Is it being used for screening? How?
