About this event
The School of Public Policy and the Political Science and Political Economy group at STICERD are delighted to have Professor Ethan Bueno de Mesquita (Dean of the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago) as speaker at their joint political economy public lecture.
"Innovations in technology have the potential to help society address some of its most fundamental challenges, but also raise harrowing considerations for how they should be governed and regulated."
Professor Bueno de Mesquita is the Dean and Sydney Stein Professor at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. He is a political scientist whose research applies game theoretic models to the study of political violence, national security, electoral politics, and technology and society; he has also written extensively on methodological issues in the social sciences. He writes and advises leaders in the public and private sectors on both national security matters and issues at the intersection of technology and society. He is the author or co-author of Political Economy for Public Policy, Theory and Credibility, and Thinking Clearly with Data.
This public lecture will take place in the Wolfson Theatre18:00 to 19:00 on Monday 31 March. The lecture will be followed by a reception.
