‘Is this about me? Responding to subtle discrimination – beyond an individual versus group perspective’
door Katherine Stroebe
1. Experiencing frequent discrimination means realizing that society does not treat people fairly and justly (this dissertation)
2. Awareness of discrimination, however negative for personal well-being, is essential in being able to address future injustice (this dissertation)
3. Those who are discriminated against on a daily basis will disengage from society (this dissertation)
4. Some groups may not only suffer more discrimination, they may also suffer more from discrimination (this dissertation)
5. Discrimination is less detrimental if you can nevertheless give victims the feeling that they can achieve personal success in life (this dissertation)
6. Without the belief in a just world it would be difficult for the individual to commit himself to the socially regulated behaviour of day-to-day life (Lerner, &
Miller, 1978, p.1030)
7. A consequence of doing research on gender discrimination is that you are less likely to appreciate your (male) neighbour’s surprise that you can mend your own bike.
8. Many “Moroccan problems” are not caused by Moroccans, but by Dutch attitudes towards Moroccans.
9. Writing a dissertation is a learning experience in which if you want to publish your work it is better not to make any mistakes
10. Researchers should see findings of others that are in contradiction to their own work as thought provoking rather than as undermining of their work.
11. Freedom of speech should not imply the freedom to structurally publish extremist (and misguided) statements of politicians
