Episode 2: Can I Change Your Mind? Talks About Prejudice and Intervention
In this episode of Hatecast, host Sophie Litvak, a PhD student in criminology, engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Boaz Hameiri about the transformative power of psychological interventions in challenging prejudice and stereotypes. Dr. Hameiri, a leading expert in intergroup relations, unveils his innovative approaches such as paradoxical thinking and intervention tournaments, showcasing their effectiveness in reducing prejudice, dehumanisation, and metadehumanisation. Together, they delve into the ethical
dimensions, the enduring impact of these interventions, and the vital role they play for policymakers and NGOs. Wrapping up, they tackle the significant hurdles in changing deeply ingrained beliefs, especially in contexts of violent intergroup conflicts.
