PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME FOR THE DAY

In addition to Professor Zimbardo the programme includes his wife, Christina Maslach, and three leading Psychology authors who will address topics of general interest to all students.

• Christina Maslach  will talk on The Reluctant Heroine who Terminated the SPE
• Phil Banyard, former Chief examiner OCR, senior lecturer at Nottingham Trent University
• Mike Cardwell, former Chief examiner AQA A, senior lecturer at Bath Spa University
• Cara Flanagan, author and former senior examiner

Dr. Zimbardo will share his views on the nature of evil, revisit the Milgram Obedience studies, his Stanford Prison Experiment, take us to the torture dungeon at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib, and describe why it is essential to understand not only individual temperament, but also situational forces, and powerful system influences that create, justify and maintain, evil-generating situations. Finally, we go from examining how ordinary people do very bad things to how other ordinary people do very good things that qualify as Heroic. We uncover a new perspective on Ordinary Heroes, and why we need to encourage everyone to become Heroes-In-Waiting ready to act on behalf of others or a moral cause when the situation arises.
