The annual DSC Research Forum will be held April 10, 2026. Our keynote speaker this year will be Dr. Joe Arvai (USC). A former faculty member in the School of Environmental and Natural Resources here at OSU, Dr. Arvai is now the Dana and David Dornsife Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology, and the Director of the Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies at the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on improving the critical thinking, judgment, and decision-making capabilities of people. His research focuses primarily on contexts where people must make judgments and decisions under conditions of risk and uncertainty, and where they must confront tradeoffs across conflicting social, economic, and environmental objectives. His research also focuses on situations where people’s instinctive approach to judgment and decision-making is biased by unchecked emotions and motivated reasoning.
Time and Location: TBD!
