Are you staying in Providence this summer?

Check out The Institute for Humane Studies’ FREE week-long workshop on SOCIAL CHANGE. It takes place at Brown University (so convenient!) from June 21 to 27.

The lectures at the Workshop touch on both methodological and substantive aspects of some of today’s most pressing and difficult questions. Is social justice at odds with economic efficiency? Is institutional structure the key to prosperity? How does the study of cognition shape our understanding of interpersonal relations in society? Can we apply insights from cognitive science to design institutions that will optimize human well-being? Should evolutionary psychology change the way we do moral theory, economics, political science, and law?
