Using Neuroscience to Understand American Political Attitudes and Decisions
Dr. Ingrid J. Haas, Department of Political Science, Center for Brain, Biology, and Behavior, University of Nebraska—Lincoln.
New research on American political behavior is using psychology and neuroscience to understand political attitudes and decisions. In this talk, I'll discuss what we can learn from psychology about how people support (or fail to support) democratic principles, and introduce neuroscience as a method to study political decision making.

Humanity is poised on a threshold unlike any other in its history. After millennia of being awed by the night sky and centuries of studying the patterns of stars and planets, the vast resources of space are within our grasp. As the commercial space industry grows in influence and importance, complex legal and ethical questions emerge about territory, resource rights, sustainability, equity, and the preservation of the space environment. Join us as we navigate the intricacies, gaps, and inconsistencies of space law and explore what boundaries exist on humans as we expand beyond our Earth and into the Universe.
