Hvordan får man majoriteten til at erkende den diskrimination, som minoriteter oplever? Et nyt studie af @ThistedPeter og @CVandeweerdt fra @PolsciCph og @MannemarKS Institut for Statskundskab, Aarhus Universitet viser, at personlige fortællinger har en bemærkelsesværdig effekt. Når folk hører om konkrete oplevelser – som Jamils afvisning i SuperBrugsen – skaber det ikke bare empati, men også vilje til handling. Det gælder både blandt dem, der normalt støtter minoriteter, og dem, der ikke gør. 📊 Statistik og fakta har stadig en vigtig rolle, men det er fortællingerne, der åbner for forståelse og forandring. Studiet peger på, at vi skal tale både til hovedet og hjertet, hvis vi vil skabe reel social forandring. 🔗 Læs hele artiklen her: nyheder.ku.dk/alle_nyheder/2…

Danmark er berømt for sin høje mellemmenneskelige (sociale) tillid, som udgør en værdifuld ressource. Men er tilliden truet? I dette essay i regi af @Magtudredningen gør Kim Sønderskov og jeg status over den sociale tillid i Danmark. Kort tråd 👇(1/5) ps.au.dk/fileadmin/Statskund…

Hvorfor er tilliden så høj i Danmark? Det findes der ikke et entydigt svar på, men et stigende uddannelsesniveau og velfungerende statslige institutioner er sandsynligvis centrale forklaringer (se: doi.org/10.1093/esr/jcu073). (4/5)

We polled EU citizens on what they want asylum policy to look like – their answers may surprise you

European citizens have remarkably similar preferences on asylum policy, including being strongly in favour of asylum seekers being allowed to work.
