Title: Principles of institutional transition and evolution

Abstract: Evolutionary theory has, since its creation, sought to address three fundamental facts about life — the diversity of adaptations, the record of large-scale transitions, and the persistence many lineages. Comparable questions lie at the center of interest in institutions — the structure and function of social rules, the factors promoting their transformation, and their tendency towards permanence. Using idealized models of institutional dynamics and computational model of institutional influence, I shall explore some emerging principles of cultural evolution.

Where: Searle Chem Lab, 240A

When: Friday, October 6th, 11am.
