My latest on my blog: I've done an analysis of how social and behavioural science can be used to improve the experience at a COVID-19 mass vaccination centre. Other countries are finding a significant minority of people aren't going back for their second vaccine dose. This issue can be improved with better accessibility, physical cues and behavioural messages. Link in my bio. Excited to share that my research on "Pandemic, Race and Moral Panic" has been published in the new book, "The Pandemic Reader: Exposing Social (In)justice in the Time of COVID-19." I've been interviewed for this @nprcodeswitch podcast on the political backlash over critical race theory. I discuss moral panics on race. A moral panic is a situation or group positioned as a threat to social values. Listen to the history and current impact, via the link on my bio. Please sign the petition to the Australian Government to increase Australia’s humanitarian intake by at least 20,000 people, and expedite the resettlement of interpreters, guides and other personnel involved in Australia’s mission in Afghanistan. In Episode 4 of our Race in Society series, Associate Professor @alanalentinwriter and I spoke with three health experts to unpack how racist ableism drives the management of lockdown and healthcare during the pandemic. Ableism is the discrimination of disabled people. Racist ableism describes how ableism intersects with racial discrimination. Head to my blog to watch Episode 3 of Race in Society. Associate Professor @alanalentinwriter and I spoke with Dr Summer May Finlay, a Yorta Yorta woman and Public Health Researcher, and Dr Karen Schamberger, an independent curator and historian. They discussed how mainstream media create sensationalist accounts of the pandemic. They explore the proactive ways in which Aboriginal people and Asian people lead their own responses to these racist media discourses on COVID-19. Read about a large study I led, which shows that more apprentices and trainees will complete their training if students are given six behaviourally informed SMS prompts. Messages provided timely and practical advice on workplace rights, and where to seek support if they were struggling. We followed over 13,000 students for 12 months. Our results equate to 16% fewer learners dropping out in their first year. Our intervention led to a 7:1 return on investment. Link in bio Your loved ones need you. Get the COVID-19 vaccine to make sure you can be there for them. On Monday, I got my first vaccine dose. Vaccination takes less than two minutes, including a survey of my medical health. It's safe, free, and relatively painless. (I barely felt it, and only woke with a sore arm, exactly the same as when I get the flu shot and other vaccines.) Best of all, I know I'm halfway to protecting myself from death and hospitalisation caused by a virus that has killed 4.2 million people around the world. Ending discrimination against gender and sexual minorities requires institutional change. As you keep fighting to make your organisation accountable, head to my blog to see three small but impactful things you can do at your workplace to end this form of discrimination.
