Event Type(s): Conference
Decisions have serious consequences, including for health, relationships, financial well-being, national security, business, economics, politics and the environment. What does state-of-the-art research have to say about human judgment and decision-making? And what are implications of these recent findings for individuals and for policy makers?
Please join the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences and the Robert H. Smith School of Business to address these issues. The morning will be devoted to presentations by four prominent researchers who study decision making from behavioral, social, cognitive science, and business perspectives. There will be a panel discussion immediately after lunch. The symposium will close with individual seminars led by the speakers.
Please register.

Event Type(s): Colloquium
Scholars have long sought to investigate culture through the production of narratives in a variety of media. While often cast as the "representation of," or a kind of mimetic "report" on a culture, ethnographic narratives can also be deployed in the role of constructing, or imagining, a culture. In this workshop, we will consider the variety and the function of "imagined ethnographies."

Many traditional Valentine's Day gifts can have a significant environmental impact. This year, consider some alternatives: Opt for fair trade, organic and shade-grown chocolate with minimal packaging. Buy your sweetheart a plant instead of cut flowers. Roses are shipped from far away and rely heavily on pesticides and fertilizers during production. Try soy or beeswax candles to set the mood. Conventional candles are made with paraffin wax, a non-renewable petroleum by-product. Happy Valentine's Day from the Office of Sustainability!
