Dr. Dyson will talk about her upcoming book MIND ABUSE Media Violence and Its Threat to Democracy. Her research is on the harmful impact of violent, first person shooter video games that are usually involved in massacres such as the one that occurred last weekend in N.S. The sequence of that unfolding tragedy resonates very closely with the narrative in the GRAND THEFT AUTO VIDEO GAME SERIES (1,2,3,4,5). It is regarded as the most popular in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us04web.zoom.us/j/3027855255?pwd=TWpGL3QrSUxhSENqUkNDNGp1MWdZUT09">https://us04web.zoom.us/j/3027855255?pwd=TWpGL3QrSUxhSENqUkNDNGp1MWdZUT09</a></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B050'>Warheads to Windmills: The Nuclear Ban Treaty and the Green New Deal <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.
