Beyond Dichotomies: Rethinking Protest Tactics and How They Shape Allyship by Mete Sefa Uysal (university of Exeter) Peer Review as Conversation (90 Minutes) Reviewers: Yasemin Gülsüm Acar (St Andrews University) and Carmen Marazzi (Clark University) Abstract: Allyship in social movements does not emerge in a vacuum. It unfolds in contested political and moral contexts where the tactics used by marginalised groups play a critical role in shaping support from the general public. Yet, existing scholarship often collapses diverse protest forms into binary categories like normative vs. nonnormative or conventional vs. radical. Recent studies on confrontational collective action (Uysal et al., 2024,2025) challenge existing categorisations that treat protest tactics as fixed and morally preferable over one another. It sees protest tactics as a continuum in which they coexist within activists’ repertoires of resistance and shifts the focus to the conditions under which individuals transition between tactics against repression. Following this critique, I aim to discuss when confrontational and disruptive actions hinder and catalyse solidarity and allyship, rather than treating them as inherently alienating.

The 1st session of this year's Psychology of Resistance Virtual Meetings is next Monday, October 13:
We start with an interactive workshop to diversify our methodological toolbox to better investigate forms of resistance and repression in different contexts.
To register: tinyurl.com/resistancere...
Psychological Research on Resistance and Repression: A Research Method Bazaar Interactive Workshop (90 mins) Led by Aya Adra, Fouad Bou Zeineddine, canan coşkan, Ali Teymoori, and Johanna Ray Vollhardt) Monday, Oct 13, 2025 Many questions in social psychological research on resistance and repression have not been systematically addressed– in part because of the methodological limitations and rigidities in the field, in addition to practical and ethical considerations. For example, how does one examine covert resistance under conditions of surveillance and risk, how does one access forms of everyday resistance that may not be articulated as such, how does one conduct research on resistance that is under repression without creating further risk or harm to the participant and/or to the research team, how does one access information about resistance under extremely violent and most repressive conditions, such as genocide? This session is an interactive methods workshop, a bazaar of ideas and research experience, where participants will share and swap knowledge about underutilized methods that have been or could be used to examine different forms of resistance (above all those forms of resistance that are understudied) in various contexts of violence and repression. The organizers will bring examples of a relevant, underutilized research method and share it with participants in a brief (5 min) blitz presentation. We also invite participants (optional, not required for participation) to bring along their methods, ideas, suggestions, questions and dilemmas, and experiences to share (5 mins max), with or without a slide or two. We will also discuss more general, overarching questions related to methodological limitations in research on resistance and repression and ways to address these. 7.00 am NYC, 8.00 Santiago (Chile), 12 (noon) London, 13.00 Barcelona, 14.00 Ramallah & Istanbul, 16.30 New Delhi, 19.00 Manila, 21.00 Brisbane.

There are always "life jacket" works that save one's time and energy when reviewing papers in one's area of specialization.

For me, this is one of them in reviewing psychological work on Turkish-Kurdish intergroup relations. Kudos to the authors!

I wish the people around me would've understood how much hormones can affect my ADHD symptoms. Some days, I just can't get any work done with how bad my brain fog gets and I feel like all I can do is ride it out (and try to be gentle with myself).
1 A graphic with text explaining ADHD and hormones. I experience worse ADHD symptoms before and during my period. As hormone levels fluctuate throughout my cycle, so does the severity of my ADHD symptoms. The ADHD Alien character is shown a few times in different situations that correlate with the text. “The brain fog gets worse” “I have more trouble concentrating, understanding and memorizing” “I get emotional faster”. The character is crying over seeing a cute kitten. “I feel more overwhelmed and less able to motivate myself” the character is exhausted and slouching over a table with a book. 2 “I keep forgetting what I'm doing”. The character is confusedly holding a spoon, meanwhile a dog in the background is pointing at an empty food bowl. “I get more impulsive and make more rash decisions” . During my period, it often feels like my medication isn't working as well. Lower estrogen levels can affect the effectiveness of ADHD medication. 3 Estrogen affects executive functioning Our estrogen levels are lowest before and during our period, and highest during ovulation (the middle between periods). Graphic of a scale, each side of the scale is showing the following: Estrogen levels sink, ADHD symptoms increase 4 A graphic with the character laying on the floor at the bottom of a curve. As the curve rises, the character becomes increasingly energetic. Ovulation: I usually am most productive and concentrated here 6 days before / during period: Concentration, working-memory and other symptoms become worse. 5 ADHD symptoms can feel worse with age. Estrogen continuously decreases during and after menopause, which can affect all kind of executive functioning like working memory, concentration etc. An illustration with the same person throughout different ages. With each age, the color changes from pink (more estrogen) to blue in old age (less estrogen). During pregnancy, estrogen levels rise and then drop significantly after birth. A graphic with a pregnant person with ADHD, with a curve rapidly sinking and then showing the same person exhausted with a baby in hand. 6 Be gentle with yourself and don’t plan the most complex work into your lower functioning phases. A sparkly and whimsical version of the ADHD alien character, that is made entirely of stars and star constellations.
