For some 65 years the Research Center for Group Dynamics has had a seminar series in Fall and Winter terms to examine issues of individual and group behavior from a psychological perspective. This Fall, their faculty is focusing on social media and asking whether the widespread use of social media changes our understanding of human behavior in important ways.
The series is organized by Scott Campbell from Communication Studies, with assistance from Oscar Ybarra and Ethan Kross in Psychology. The talks are on Mondays, 3:30 - 5 PM and the opening seminar is Monday, September 15. The talks are open to all.
