Thibault Le Texier’s forensic research into the #StanfordPrisonExperiment has just been published in English. I write about how it is an eyeopening, shocking and engrossing read.
A French science historian dug deep into the true story of the Stanford prison experiment – revealing 'guards' were actually coached to be brutal. His findings are now available in English. @GinaPerry @unimelb

50 years ago a social psychologist took 2 groups of boys on what the kids thought was a summer camp. It turned out to be a disturbing psychology experiment.

You are about to see in real time over the next 4 days how the media can choose who it humanizes and who it villainizes, who is a child and who is a minor, who is a mother and who is an accomplice. Who is a hostage and who is a prisoner. In short who is innocent and who is not.
