A leading researcher of Greek origin, Dr Athena Aktipis is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at Arizona State University, director of the Interdisciplinary Cooperation Initiative and co-director of The Human Generosity Project. She studies cooperation across systems, from human sharing to multicellularity and cancer, and this evening will challenge us to question cooperation, and then explain why, although we try to work together, we simply can’t avoid conflict!
Two highly successful concert pianists follow. Both graduates of the prestigious Juilliard School with multiple international awards, they will present a rich solo piano program with works such as Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit, Chopin’s Nocturne in C minor No. 48 no. 1 and preludes.
