SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness\nJamil Zaki\nTuesday\, September 10\, 2024\n3:00 - 4:00 p.m. ET \nFree\, registration required\nIn-Person and Online Options\n \nEvent link: \nhttps://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/events/hope-for-cynics-the-surprising-science-of-human-goodness/\n \nPositive Links: \nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders. \n \nAbout the talk: \nCynicism is an understandable response to a world full of injustice and inequality. But in many cases\, it is misplaced. Dozens of studies find that people fail to realize how kind\, generous\, and open-minded others really are. Cynical thinking deepens social problems: when we expect the worst in people\, we often bring it out of them. We don’t have to remain stuck in this cynicism trap.\n\nJoin Jamil Zaki\, author of  \"Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness\,\" in a fireside chat with Ethan Kross to learn the secret for beating back cynicism: hopeful skepticism—thinking critically about people and our problems\, while simultaneously acknowledging our power. Through science and storytelling\, Jamil will share how hopeful skepticism can strengthen relationships\, schools\, businesses\, and social movements. This philosophy isn’t about naïve optimism\; it’s about magnifying the good in people while remaining critical. Hopeful skepticism honors humanity’s strengths while confronting our weaknesses head-on.\n \nAbout Zaki: \nJamil Zaki is a full professor of psychology at Stanford University. He and his colleagues study social connection\, including empathy\, cooperation\, and trust (see ssnl.stanford.edu for details)\, and develop tools to help people connect more effectively.\n\nDr. Zaki received his BA in cognitive neuroscience from Boston University and his PhD in psychology from Columbia University and conducted postdoctoral research at the Harvard Center for Brain Science. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and received about two dozen awards from scientific associations and universities. In 2019 he was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)\, the US Government’s highest honor for researchers at his career stage.\n\nHost: \nEthan Kross\, Faculty Associate\, Center for Positive Organizations\; Professor of Psychology and Management & Organizations\, University of Michigan\n \nSeries Sponsors: \nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies for their support of the 2024-25 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n \nSeries Promotional Partners: \nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK and the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.
