[Behsci] Behavioural Science Centre meeting: 2 - 3.30 next Wednesday in Room 3b129

[David Comerford]

Hi all,

Next Wednesday June 28th we will have a meeting of the Behavioural Science Centre 2 - 3.30 in Room 3b129. There will be brownies!

The agenda will be tightened up but here are some items:


  1.  Events: Sept 14 Behavioural Science Centre Reunion event - Stirling Court Room and Stirling Court Hotel September 14th. Invites are being sent as we speak. Interested to hear suggestion on format given the we-don't-know-each-other-yet-but-we-all-have-something-in-common nature of the participants. It feels like this is one where a more participatory approach would work well. Ideas very welcome!

Oct 20 Behavioural Insights for Regulation: Keynote speaker is academic and policy advisor Amelia Fletcher (UEA).


  1.  Staffing - the economics division has openings at Prof / Assoc Prof level and at SL / Lecturer level. The prof level job is listed as being in the environmental / sustainability space. We are keen to strengthen the behavioural base of our faculty so suggestions welcome.

Teaching buy-in: Related to the above, teachers on our MSc Behavioural Science program have been flat out for the past few years. If anyone knows of PhD students who are looking for teaching experience and are conversant in quants and / or experimental social / cognitive psychology then we are keen to hear about them.


  1.  Funding opportunities.


  1.  Outreach and dissemination opportunities.
