From the Faculty Lounge: Why Do We Do That? Decision-Making and Natural Selection
October 3, 2017, 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Sulzberger Parlor, 3rd Floor Barnard Hall
Joshua New, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Barnard College
Homa Zarghamee, Assistant Professor of Economics, Barnard College
Returning this fall, From the Faculty Lounge continues to bring together some of Barnard’s most notable professors, authors, and experts for enlightening discussions. Joshua New, assistant professor of psychology, and Homa Zarghamee, assistant professor of economics, discuss how human behavior can reflect both explicit decision-making processes and implicit biases shaped by natural selection.
Join professors New and Zarghamee, along with moderator Provost Linda Bell, as they analyze the ways in which we make choices, both rational and irrational, and how these choices impact our individual and collective good.
Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please arrive early as this event will be filmed and doors will close promptly at 6:30 PM.
Catch previously recorded conversations here.
This event is sponsored by Barnard College.
