@PhilosophyExp I’m taking a course on sociology of culture. Very excited about the readings -
@mslogophiliac Course sounds interesting. I'm a sociological theorist by training (or maybe a social theorist).
-
@PhilosophyExp do you have a particular focus? Or interest within the field? -
@mslogophiliac Political mobilisation was my thing (trying to understand what it is that attracts people to political movements, etc).
-
@PhilosophyExp oooooh. I know this is a very very low hanging fruit but given recent events, what’s up with people joining ISIS? -
@mslogophiliac Basically, my argument is that in relations of opposition - In-group/Out-group - the payoff is magnified.
-
@PhilosophyExp oooh interesting -
@mslogophiliac If you don't know Tajfel's minimal group paradigm studies, check them out - they're scary! :)
