Politics: Is it in our Genes?

On Friday, March 26, the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship together with the McGill Political Science Student Association will host a public symposium on bio-politics to discuss exciting new research at the intersection of the social and biological sciences. Cognitive psychologists, behavioral scientists and neurologists have long recognized that our capacity to co-operate, empathize and participate is influenced to some degree by our biology. However, political scientists are only just beginning to explore the implications of this for understanding political participation and orientations. This event will bring together leading researchers in the field, who will present their research in an accessible way, and includes a discussion with panelists from other departments (e.g. Faculty of Medicine), the media and the policy community about the implications of this new research agenda. All are welcome to attend. The symposium is followed by a reception.

Facebook event

When: Friday, March 26 @ 2:00
Where: McGill University Leacock 232

We would like to thank our generous sponsor, the Princeton Review.
