M2_4: Do you have any other thoughts or comments you would like to make that this video triggered for you?

29 May

Written By Pooja Sawrikar

Due to the cognitive bias of a ‘belief in a just world’, we also believe in meritocracy - that the world is a fair merit-based system: if you just work hard, you will get your just rewards, and have the same access to opportunity as anyone else. The false implication of this belief is that women and non-white people are under-represented in positions of power because they don’t work hard. Your thoughts? Whose labour, intellect, and bodies does society value?
Can you think of any examples where objective numeric data has not been used ethically? (Responses are to be DEIDENTIFIED/ANONYMISED).
Anything else?

Ethical responses welcome | Discussions from prior platform of the program here.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land now called Australia, and pay my deep respect to Indigenous elders past, present, and emerging for their custodianship of cultures, knowledges, pride, and guidance through and survivorship of the intergenerational trauma of colonial dispossession and oppression. I live and work on the unceded lands of the Yugambeh/Kombumerri peoples.
