From the earliest pulp publications to modern masterpieces, science fiction short stories and novels have often functioned as a lens through which we express our sense of wonder, marvel at the possibilities of new technologies, and engage in our wildest imaginings. Join us as we celebrate the fantastic and strange in science fiction literature.

The Department of Psychology presents their 2012 Brown Bag Series with Jesse Graham, Department of Psychology at USC.
Ideological Conflicts as Opposing Moral Visions
Why do our moral convictions feel like objective truth, and yet differ so greatly across individuals and cultures? How do shared ideological narratives influence our sense of right and wrong, and how do our moral convictions influence our political choices? This talk will explore these questions with an investigation of the interactions between morality and ideology.
This event is scheduled for December 7, 2012, 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in Sierra Hall 322.
