SUMMARY:What Conventional Wisdom Gets Wrong About Political Polarization
DESCRIPTION:About the Lecture\nWe hear often that Americans are more polarized than ever. In this lecture\, Professor David Broockman will explore how Americans are politically polarized\, why–and why not–this matters\, and potential solutions. Professor Broockman will discuss how his research has challenged conventional wisdom on: (1) to what extent Americans’ frustrations with government result from politicians being too extreme\, (2) to what extent voters’ dislike of each other–so-called affective polarization–contributes to the nation’s political challenges\, and (3) how we all can have more productive and persuasive conversations with our political rivals. \n\nEvent Recording\n \nAbout David Broockman\nDavid Broockman is an Associate Professor at the Travers Department of Political Science at the University of California\, Berkeley. Professor Broockman is the author of over three dozen peer-reviewed scholarly essays focusing on American politics. His research has overturned conventional wisdom regarding the nature\, extent\, and consequences of political polarization in the American public; how political campaigns can persuade voters; and how to have productive conversations to bridge divides and reduce prejudice.

SUMMARY:What Have Megastudies Taught Us about Successfully Encouraging Increased Vaccination?
DESCRIPTION:About the Lecture\nIn this lecture\, Professor Milkman will discuss three massive field experiments testing dozens of different ways of encouraging increased vaccination. First\, she will discuss a “megastudy” encouraging flu vaccination at doctor’s appointments among 47\,306 patients of two large U.S. health systems in which 42 scientists worked in teams to design a total of 19 different text reminders using a variety of different behavioral science principles. Next\, she will describe a megastudy encouraging in-pharmacy flu vaccinations among 689\,693 Walmart pharmacy patients in which 44 scientists worked in teams to design a total of 22 different text reminders using a variety of different behavioral science principles. Finally\, we’ll look at a megastudy encouraging COVID-19 bivalent booster vaccination among 3.5 million patients of a national pharmacy chain in which 13 scientists worked together to design a total of 8 different interventions including text reminders and free round-trip rides to the pharmacy. \n\nWebinar Recording\n\nAbout Katy Milkman\nKaty Milkman is the James G. Dinan Professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania\, host of Charles Schwab’s popular behavioral economics podcast Choiceology\, and the former president of the international Society for Judgment and Decision Making. She is also the co-founder and co-director of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative\, a research center with the mission of advancing the science of lasting behavior change. Over the course of her career\, Katy has worked with or advised dozens of organizations on how to spur positive change\, including Google\, the White House\, Walmart and the U.S. Department of Defens
