Julia Shaw
Dr Julia Shaw introduces her new book, Making Evil: the Science behind Humanity’s Dark Side.
“In this wide-ranging event, she will talk about the deviance that lies in ourselves and others, drawing on science, popular culture and real life examples.
“Why do the same dispositions that make us capable of heinous crimes also work to our advantage? If evil is within all of us, should it be said to exist at all? How similar is your brain to that of a psychopath? How many people have murder fantasies? Can A.I. be evil? Do your sexual proclivities make you a bad person? Who becomes a terrorist? This is a fascinating, darkly compelling, provocative, challenging subject that Shaw approaches with academic rigour and rationality.”
