The Behavioral Insights Student Group (BISG) invites you to attend a series of book talks this semester.

Join us for a discussion on the changing media landscape, and the role of media in the recent election.

This event is part of the Speaker Series on Misinformation, co-sponsored by the Shorenstein Center for Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School and the NULab at Northeastern University.

In this virtual book talk Keith Payne share insights on how understanding the psychology of our political divide can provide tools to approach political debates more effectively, handle misinformation, and separate political principles from personal relationships to foster mutual understanding. This event was present by the BISG.

Join us for a conversation with Katie Couric, news anchor, bestselling author, and media entrepreneur, on the media, politics, and the future of democracy.

The Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy invites you to attend two screenings of Natalia Almada’s films ‘The Night Watchman (El Velador)’ and ‘Users.’

This virtual book talk features Alison Fragale, organizational psychologist, professor, and bestselling author of ‘Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve.’ In this engaging session, Fragale delves into her research on the science of status—what it is, why it matters, and how women can use it to amplify their success. This event was present by the BISG.

Join us for an important conversation in the immediate aftermath of election night with a panel of experts.

This event was co-sponsored by The Journalist’s Resource, the Nieman Foundation and the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation.
