The annual DSC Research Forum will be held on Friday, March 7, from 10am-1pm in Psychology 35. This aim of this event is to spotlight decision science research conducted at OSU, and to bring together researchers on campus with an eye toward enhancing dialogue and collaboration. The symposium will consist of a keynote speaker, faculty blitz talks, student research presentations, and a poster session with reception.
Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Julia Minson of Harvard University. Her research interests focus on conflict management, negotiations, and judgment and decision making. Some of her best well-known work focuses on the psychology of disagreement: how people engage with opinions, values, and judgments that conflict with their own. She also explores interventions to help people become more receptive to opposing views of others. Dr. Minson has also conducted research on group decision-making, including work on the under-weighting of advice, "wisdom of crowds," and overconfidence. She is the founder of the Constructive Disagreement Project—a project dedicated to disseminating cutting edge research and developing interventions for professionals in government, education, healthcare, and the media.
