Election Fever: The Role of Emotion in Voting
Lecture, with book signing |
| |
We vote with our hearts, not our minds. At least that is the argument made by Drew Westen (professor of psychology, Emory University), who has studied presidential election data from the 1950s through the 2008 primaries. This evening, he provides a clinical view of what candidates have said -- or could have said -- in debates, speeches, and ads to win our votes. Book signing follows.

Our Temperamental Earth: Geological Drama of Plate Tectonics
Lecture |
| |
More than 600 million years ago, the continent of Laurentia -- later known as North America -- collided with the supercontinent Gondwana, creating the Appalachian Mountains. This was just part of Earth's continuous shape-shifting, a cycle where supercontinents break up and drift away from each other and the oceans open, and then the reverse takes place to form another supercontinent and another superocean. In this time-travel tour, John Renton (professor of geology, West Virginia Univesity) explains how this all happens and how a new supercontinent will form millions of years from now.
