Julia, Simon, Jodie, and Ian preview what's coming up on www.thefamiliarstrange.com in the coming month. On today's show, Jodie (1:40) follows up on 2015 fracas at Yale about free speech and Halloween, in response to a discussion on Sam Harris' podcast "Waking Up" (https://www.samharris.org/podcast/item/facing-the-crowd); Simon (7:10) takes us to Iran for a look at gender-segregated public transportation, and the ways rules unwind in authoritarian countries, original research he'll present next week (http://sociology.cass.anu.edu.au/events/mundane-governance-conference); Julia (12:25) reflects on conviction and openness in political speech, reacting to the departure of (former) Australian senator Jacqui Lambie; and Ian (17:55) talks about creeps, assholes, and the deeply personal process of social categorization that shapes people's behavior. The Familiar Strange is supported by the Australian Anthropological Society, the Australian National University's schools of Culture, History, and Language and Archaeology and Anthropology, and the Australian Centre for the Public Awareness of Science.
