Evolutionary Lecture Exchange Group Sign-Up

/in , , , ,

Attention HBES faculty:

Are you teaching online in Spring 2021? Would you love to expose your students to more evolutionary-minded researchers? Join our lecture exchange group! We have created a spreadsheet for faculty interested in exchanging prerecorded guest lectures for classes in social psychology, evolutionary psychology, cultural psychology, evolutionary anthropology, and more. We think that this time of online teaching affords an excellent opportunity to expose students to experts on various topics in the study of human behavior.

The idea would be to provide a prerecorded guest lecture that can be used by any participating faculty. Please add your name, lecture topic(s), and email address to our list! And, if there is something you would like for your class, feel free to send the request to that faculty member. They can then send you their recorded lecture.

A wonderful, but not mandatory, accompaniment to the lecture would be to exchange “tea time chats”. That is, allow the professor and/or students in a course to interview you for 10 mins at a mutually convenient time after watching your lecture.

If you would like to be involved in this exchange, sign up here: Lecture exchange

Robert Trivers, Ph.D., presents Evolutionary Psychology & Ethics

In this two-part session Dr. Trivers will first lay out the theoretical map for ethical behavior, reciprocal altruism, cooperation and deception in human relationships. In part two he will explain the co-evolutionary struggle between deceiver and the deceived, the intrinsic bias in favor of the deceiver, and the evolution of self-deception to facilitate the efficacy of deceptive behavior. Active discussion and a Q&A section for attendees is included in both parts.

Spring School on Quantitative Methods May 2016 | MPI Science of Human History, Germany

/in , , ,

Research in cultural and linguistic evolution is growing rapidly. New scholars need to quickly grasp a range of computational and quantitative methods from across different disciplines, to learn to organise and present data, and to critically evaluate the right approaches for their research. Recognising a need for interdisciplinary training from within the field, the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History will be holding its first Spring School on Quantitative Methods from May 13th-18th 2016. Applications are due March 1st.
