Professor Sergio della Sala Professor of Human Cognitive Neuroscience, has published over 450 peer-reviewed papers and is editor-in-chief of the journal Cortex.
NEUROBOLLOCKS There often appears to be a mismatch between what neuroscientists and psychologists think they know about the mind and the brain and how this knowledge is portrayed to the public. This may be due to scientists’ eagerness for visibility, to excessive simplification of findings through the media, or to entrepreneurs capitalising on pseudoscience jargon to sell products and programs.
Phil Banyard Reader in Psychology, Nottingham Trent University, former Chief Examiner OCR.
CAN PSYCHOLOGY SAVE THE WORLD Abraham Maslow is quoted as saying, ‘The world will either be saved by psychologists or it won’t be saved at all’. In this talk we will look at whether psychologists are the superheroes that will rescue the planet. Lycra costumes are optional.
Cara FlanaganWidely published author of A level Psychology books.
VALIDITY AND ECOLOGICAL VALIDITY Students love it, examiners loathe it – the ecological validity criticism. In this talk Cara will explore the intricacies of the concept of validity, and a bit of reliability too. A previous audience member said the talk was surprisingly entertaining.
Professor Christina Maslach,Professor of Psychology and President of the Faculty Senate at the University of California at Berkeley
The Reluctant Heroine who Terminated the SPE and how this led to research on burnout.
Dr Philip Zimbardois a Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. He has been described as ‘a legendary teacher’, someone with a gift of enthralling his audience and packing a powerful message.
MY JOURNEY FROM CREATING EVIL TO INSPIRING HEROISM Dr. Zimbardo will share his views on the nature of evil, revisit the Milgram Obedience studies, his Stanford Prison Experiment, take us to the torture dungeon at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib, and describe why it is essential to understand not only individual temperament, but also situational forces, and powerful system influences that create, justify and maintain, evil-generating situations. Finally, we go from examining how ordinary people do very bad things to how other ordinary people do very good things that qualify as Heroic. We uncover a new perspective on Ordinary Heroes, and why we need to encourage everyone to become Heroes-In-Waiting ready to act on behalf of others or a moral cause when the situation arises. Finally, Zimbardo invites us all of us to become HIPSTERS—part of his new Heroic Imagination Project.
