We’re doing a new thing here at the Applied Statistics Center, throwing monthly Friday afternoon mini-conferences in the Playroom (inspired by our successful miniconference on statistical consulting a couple years ago).
Come join us this Friday, September 10th for an engaging interdisciplinary discussion of risk perception at the individual and societal level, and the role it plays in current environmental, social, and health policy debates. All are welcome!
“Risk Perception in Environmental Decision-Making”
Elke Weber, Columbia Business School
“Cultural Cognition and the Problem of Science Communication”
Dan Kahan, Yale Law School
Discussants include:
Michael Gerrard, Columbia Law School
David Epstein, Department of Political Science, Columbia University
Andrew Gelman, Department of Statistics, Columbia University
Any chance of video of the proceedings?
This was a fascinating event – as a new GSAS student, it was a rare treat to see scholars from such different disciplines giving their perspectives on such an interesting topic. I look forward to your further elaboration on the incompatibility of risk and utility functions.
Any slides or handouts from this proceeding that can be shared?
