"Escape Your Echo Chamber"
"This conditioning isn’t taking into consideration how much data your social media already has from previous interactions, your shared web-based usage, and broader social networks. You’re already in at least an epistemic bubble – and depending on your mindset, you may be more entrenched than you think! I know on some of my platforms, I’m so deep into pictures of cottages, tea and biscuits, and beautiful books that I forgot there were other functions for the platform!"
The Wrigley Prize - Wing Commander Amanda Gosling Clarke
"Military Challenges From Climate Change"
"As climate change interacts with Australia’s physical and geopolitical environment, it presents the Australian Defence Force (ADF) a spectrum of new challenges. This paper explores those challenges that are specific to militaries. By defining and understanding these new challenges, the ADF is better positioned to determine the actions needed to protect its ability to generate and apply military power. "
The Air and Space Power Centre team look forward to these pieces being read, discussed, and shared. Submissions are open for the next iteration, find more information here.
