PPE Talk: “Free Speech and Campus Politics” with Jonathan Haidt
October 6, 2016 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
“Free Speech and Campus Politics”
Jonathan Haidt (pronounced “height”) is a social psychologist at the NYU-Stern School of Business. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992, and spent most of his career (1995-2011) at the University of Virginia.
Haidt’s research examines the intuitive foundations of morality, and how morality varies across cultures–including the cultures of American progressive, conservatives, and libertarians. Haidt is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis, and of The New York Times bestseller The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion.
This talk is being given as a presentation to the UNC/Duke PPE Gateway course, which is co-convened at Duke and UNC. Everyone is welcome, so please feel free to come even if you are not enrolled. The course is meeting at Duke for this part of the semester.
