Young people are protesting ICE and reenacting immigration raids in online gaming platform Roblox
Some young people on Roblox, the popular online gaming platform, have been using a roleplaying game to embody Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
The @apnews.com recently interviewed me to discuss the impact that Roblox can have on youth's mental health when used to reenact and protest against ICE immigration raids.
My takeaway: It can be a healthy process by which youth build community and obtain social support!

How to make a choice when the options suck | Amitai Shenhav | TEDxNewEngland
I'm happy to now be able to share a talk I gave at TEDx New England last Fall!Β
The talk is about our lab's work on what makes decisions costly, and how to make them less so.
I discuss lessons for all kinds of decisions, including getting people to vote.
