SUMMARY:Development Talk: Culture\, Psychology and Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Lab’s Development Talks is a series of conversations with policymakers and academics working in international development. The seminar provides a platform for practitioners and researchers to discuss both the practice of development and analytical work centered on policy. 	Speaker: Joseph Henrich\, Ruth Moore Professor\, Department of Human Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University 	Moderator: Eliana La Ferrara\, Professor of Public Policy\, Harvard Kennedy School 	Whether attending in-person or virtually\, please register in advance. Room attendance is limited to the Harvard community. Seating availability is based on a first-come\, first-served basis. The Zoom webinar is open to the public. 	Lunch will be provided. Please arrive at 11:45 am to allow for lunch\, seating\, and a prompt start at 12 pm. 	About the speaker: 	Dr. Henrich is currently the Ruth Moore Professor of Biological Anthropology in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. Before moving to Harvard\, he was a professor of both Economics and Psychology at the University of British Columbia for nearly a decade\, where he held the Canada Research Chair in Culture\, Cognition and Coevolution. His research deploys evolutionary theory to understand how human psychology gives rise to cultural evolution and how this has shaped our species’ genetic evolution. Using insights generated from this approach\, Professor Henrich has explored a variety of topics\, including economic decision-making\, social norms\, fairness\, religion\, marriage\, prestige\, cooperation and innovation. In 2016\, he published The Secret of Our Success (Princeton) and in 2020\, The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West became psychologically peculiar and particularly prosperous (FSG).
