Australian human rights organisations have written an open letter to the Vice-Chancellor of The University of Melbourne to raise concerns about restriction of protests on campus and surveillance of staff and students via the wi-fi network
“The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy, and throughout history students and staff at universities have been at the forefront of driving positive social change – from standing up for marriage equality and climate action to organising against mandatory conscription during the Vietnam War.”
- Sarah Schwartz, Legal Director, Human Rights Law Centre
#Introduction - using the lovely interview that #SHAPS at #UniMelb did to double up as an intro here!
I just changed instances. Hello #aus.social! Glad to be here!
Here's an #introduction.
I'm a #prof in computational #cogsci at #UniMelb. I use behavioural experiments and mathematical models to study how people #learn and #reason. I think a lot about how we make #inferences from sparse #data, how we #share information with each other, and how this affects our #cultural and #informational #systems.
I am a #parent to two amazing kids, love #teaching #rstats to psychology undergraduates, am an #American living in #Australia (citizen of both) in the beautiful #Dandenongs, and am #trans (see post below). I try not to take myself too seriously, especially on social media.
