About This Talk
The human quest to understand our world continues. The Director of Stanford’s Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) discusses how academics and researchers have organized the study of human action, society, and institutions over time, how they share their findings, and what transformations we need for the future.

Bacharach Professor Emerita of International Studies in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington.
