A Paradigm Shift in Peace Research
Wednesday, March 13, 2019 | 4 PM
2435 North Quad
105 South State Street, Ann Arbor
Free and open to the public
The popular belief persists that, by nature, humans are not predisposed to peace. However, archeological and paleontological evidence reveals that the vast majority of our time as a species has been spent in small hunter-gatherer bands that are basically peaceful and egalitarian in nature. We welcome Darcia Narvaez and Peter Verbeek to talk about humans' developmental niche for peace and findings from and future directions for peace ethology, the interdisciplinary science of peace.
Darcia Narvaez is Professor of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame and integrates evolutionary, anthropological, neurobiological, clinical, developmental and education sciences in her work. She is author of the award-winning Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture, and Wisdom (W.W. Norton, 2014) and contributor to Peace Ethology: Behavioral Processes and Systems of Peace (Wiley, 2018).
Peter Verbeek is Associate Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in the Anthropology of Peace and Human Rights at the University of Alabama, Birmingham and studies behavioral processes and systems of peace at the levels of species, individuals, groups, communities, and cultures. His work has been published in Science, Behaviour, and other scientific journals, and he is co-editor with Benjamin Peters of Peace Ethology: Behavioral Processes and Systems of Peace (Wiley, 2018).
