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