Conference on Culture and Conflict: Do They Need Each Other?
Friday and Saturday, April 11-12
This two-day conference is sponsored by the Provost’s Office, History Department, and the Institute of Global Cultural Studies. It was organized by Howard Brown (History Department), with the help of an advisory committee that included several EvoS faculty participants. The entire conference is interesting from an evolutionary perspective, but especially session 4 (Saturday, 10:45-12:15 in Room 220A of the Downtown Center), which features Peter Richerson and David Sloan Wilson.
For more information about the conference, please contact Howard Brown or Leslie Levene for more information.
