HYBRID Live and Zoom - UNC Prof. Kurt Gray: Outraged!

 

Why We Fight about Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground

The Harvard Club of the Research Triangle is so pleased to welcome Dr. Kurt Gray, Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prof. Gray earned his PhD from Harvard in 2010. He uses interdisciplinary methods to study deeply held human beliefs and the issues that foster them, such as religion, politics, artificial intelligence, and social media. He also explores new ways to bridge moral divides. He directs both the Deepest Beliefs Lab and the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding at UNC Chapel Hill, and is the author of Outraged: Why We Fight about Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground, forthcoming from Pantheon Books in 2025.

We are so grateful that Prof. Gray will join us before he heads north to lead The Ohio State University’s new Collaborative on the Science of Polarization and Misinformation (C-SPAM) starting in autumn 2025. He will also join the faculty of the Department of Psychology as the first Weary Family Foundation Endowed Chair in the Social Psychology of Polarization and Misinformation, a position that with C-SPAM is supported by a recent $5 million gift from Gifford Weary and her family foundation.
