Un livre pour ma vie - Yuval Noah #harari - Regarder le documentaire complet | ARTE
▻https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/118865-008-A/un-livre-pour-ma-vie-yuval-noah-harariYuval Noah Harari, historien, philosophe et auteur à succès, expose dans cet entretien sa perspective sur la dynamique entre la #science, la narration et le comportement humain. Il soutient que, bien que la science offre une compréhension du monde infiniment plus complexe et imaginative que la mythologie, son principal défi réside dans son incapacité à raconter des histoires captivantes. Or, les humains sont motivés à l’action par les récits, non par les faits seuls. Harari explique que les mythes qui façonnent les sociétés (sur l’immigration, les conflits, l’identité nationale ou religieuse) puisent souvent leur force dans des "drames biologiques" fondamentaux (rivalité tribale, peur de la perte parentale, dynamique familiale), compréhensibles même au niveau mammifère. Ces récits, bien (...)

Patterns of prejudice: Connecting the dots helps health workers combat #bias worldwide
▻https://redasadki.me/2025/04/12/patterns-of-prejudice-connecting-the-dots-helps-health-workers-combat-biasEnglish | Français “I noticed that every time he went to appointments or emergency services, he was often met with suspicion or treated as if he was exaggerating his symptoms,” shared a community support worker from Canada, describing how an Indigenous teenager waited three months for mental health services while non-Indigenous youth were seen within weeks. This testimony was just one of hundreds shared during an unusual global gathering where frontline health workers confronted an uncomfortable truth: healthcare systems worldwide are riddled with biases that determine who lives and who dies. “Equity Matters: A Practical Approach to Identify and Eliminate Biases,” a #special_event hosted by the Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) on 10-11 April 2025, drew nearly 5,000 health professionals (...)

L’équité compte : quand les soignants du monde entier témoignent des inégalités en santé

Le père avait pourtant supplié qu’on s’occupe de l’enfant, proposant 100 000 nairas et promettant de vendre son bétail pour payer le reste. » Ce récit glaçant d’un professionnel de santé nigérian illustre la dure réalité des inégalités d’accès aux soins dont de nombreux témoignages ont été partagés lors d’un événement international consacré à l’équité en santé.

Crickets. One CEO wrote: “We aren’t currently in a position to enter into new strategic partnerships on the topic.” The chilling effect is real. Many organizations are retreating from publicly championing #equity work—even those with deep commitments to fairness and #inclusion. But here’s the opportunity: While public discourse faces headwinds, meaningful work continues through trusted networks and communities of practice. This is precisely when innovation in equity approaches accelerates—away from the spotlight but with profound impact. The evidence is clear: health systems that neglect equity waste resources and deliver poorer (...)

#Biasca_contro. La trilogia
Quella che - con il titolo La vigna di San Carlo -sarebbe diventata la terza parte della trilogia di Victor Tognola complessivamente intitolata Biasca contro, andò in onda nella tarda serata del 29 febbraio 2004 nel contesto della trasmissione televisiva «Storie».
Contro l’orario della prima diffusione vi fu un sollevamento popolare. Ne diedero ampia eco i quotidiani ticinesi. Damiano Realini su «La Regione» il 10 marzo 2004 scrisse: «se da un lato pubblico e critica hanno unanimemente apprezzato il lavoro (che ricordiamo essere la prima parte di una trilogia dedicata alla memoria della Biasca degli ultimi moicani ovvero alla Biasca de i biasca) mandato in onda dalla Televisione della Svizzera di lingua italiana (TSI) nella trasmissione «Storie» di domenica 29 febbraio, dall’altro lato la trilogia starebbe subendo (secondo le accuse qui di seguito riportate) un presunto ostracismo da parte della stessa TSI.»
Il 15 maggio il comitato a sostegno di Biasca contro si presentò alla sede della TSI a Comano con le firme raccolte: «Biasca contro, 3000 firme a muso duro*»*, intitolava «La Regione» il 22 aprile; lo medesimo quotidiano, il 24 maggio, annunciava la replica dell’opera di Tognola: «In seguito alle pressione del pubblico televisivo (oltre 3 mila firme giunte dalla Svizzera italiana) la Tsi ritrasmette il documentario di Victor Tognola Biasca Contro - La vigna di San Carlo domani sera, martedì, alle ore 21 su Tsi 2, in un orario, dunque, accessibile a tutti.»
Di grande rilevanza storica, in questo dossier abbiamo raccolto le tre parti della trilogia complessivamente intitolata Biasca contro: La vigna di San Carlo andò in onda il 29 febbraio 2004; Biasca la Strega, il 21 settembre 2005, e la stessa sera andò in onda Biasca la Rossa.

Women ask fewer questions than men at seminars
(de 2017, je mets ici pour archivage)ONE theory to explain the low share of women in senior academic jobs is that they have less self-confidence than men. This hypothesis is supported by data in a new working paper, by a team of researchers from five universities in America and Europe. In this study, observers counted the attendees, and the questions they asked, at 247 departmental talks and seminars in biology, psychology and philosophy that took place at 35 universities in ten countries. On average, half of each seminar’s audience was female. Men, however, were over 2.5 times more likely to pose questions to the speakers—an action that may be viewed (rightly or wrongly) as a sign of greater competence.

How to stop men asking all the questions in seminars – it’s really easy!
I spotted a short item on gender #bias in academia in the Economist this week and tweeted it, which then went viral. The tweet read:
▻https://frompoverty.oxfam.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/questions-in-seminars-508x1024.png
‘In academic seminars, ‘Men are > 2.5 times more likely to pose questions to the speakers. This male skew was observable only in those seminars in which a man asked first question. When a woman did so, gender split disappeared’. CHAIRS PLEASE NOTE – FIRST Q TO A WOMAN – EVERY TIME.’
Which confirms an impression I’ve had when chairing assorted discussions – if you let men dominate from the start, it stays that way, but call on women for the first few questions, and things work out much better.
The research paper that backs up the stats can be found here. It’s based on survey responses of over 600 academics in 20 countriesand observational data from almost 250 seminars in 10 countries. Kudos to the authors, Alecia Carter, Alyssa Croft, Dieter Lukas and Gillian Sandstrom. Their broader recommendations are:
‘Increasing the time for or number of questions reduces the imbalance in the questions asked. We recommend that, where possible, the question time not be limited. This could be achieved through, for example, booking a seminar room for longer than one hour so that the next event in the room does not cut short the question time. Having said this, our data suggest that to overcome the male-first question bias, upwards of 25 min is needed for questions, which was a rare occurrence in our data and additionally may be a taxing requirement for the speaker after having given a seminar.
Alternatively, keeping questions and answers short will allow more questions to be asked during a given question period, and could be an alternative method to allow greater balance in the questions asked. We feel that more could be done through active changes in speakers’, attendees’ and particularly moderators’ behaviour. Having an active, trained moderator may avoid those situations where one audience member seems to be “showing off” (which survey respondents claim to be the case quite often), or is going off-topic, or a speaker who goes over time.
We would recommend that, should the opportunity arise, a female-first question be prioritised because this was a good predictor of low imbalance in the questions asked in our observational data. In addition, moderators could be trained to see the whole room (location was mentioned as a factor), and to maintain as much balance as possible with respect to gender and seniority of question-askers. In the open-ended survey questions, respondents complained that moderators call on people they know or more senior people, overlooking the rest.
▻https://frompoverty.oxfam.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/speeches-disguised-as-comments.jpg
Although it may seem fair to call on people in the order that they raise their hands, doing so may inadvertently result in fewer women and junior academics asking questions, since they often need more time to formulate questions and work up the nerve.
Our data clearly show that women are not inherently less likely to ask questions when the conditions are favourable—there is no gender bias when a woman asks the first question. Our suggestions should be seen as aims to create favourable conditions that remove the barriers to speaking up and being visible.’
One of the single most useful bits of gender-related research I’ve read in a long time. I will do things differently from now on.
Update: most useful additional advice on twitter comes from Joe Smith. He attended a recent seminar where the chair announced he would take Qs in order ‘girl-boy-girl-boy’. Lets people know in advance, is obviously fair, and is light hearted and infinitely preferable to male chair ‘look how feminist I am’ trumpet-blowing.

La politique des putes
Océan réalise, avec « La #Politique_des_putes », une enquête en immersion dans laquelle il tend le micro à des travailleuses·rs du sexe. Elles disent le stigmate, la marginalisation, la précarité, les violences systémiques mais aussi les ressources et l’empowerment. Pour elles, l’intime est résistance. Dix épisodes de 30 mn pour briser les préjugés.

sur la gestion (pathétique?) de la pandémie, d’un collègue de Nancy
Is “#stay_at_home” the correct #social_distancing measure to fight the covid-19 pandemic ?
▻https://medium.com/@antonello.lobianco/is-stay-at-home-the-correct-social-distancing-measure-to-fight-the-covid-19-“The message “stay at home’’ is undoubtedly simpler than “don’t stay without means of respiratory protection in closed places in the presence of other people and avoid physical contacts’’ but this simplicity comes at the cost of a #bias.
In other words, looking at everyone on the road as a possible infector, is only a desperate response from a #frightened and #confused society that finds itself sick but does not want to discover itself technologically overtaken.”
