"Localism"

(Open to Current UChicago Students Only)

Thursday, April 15th, 12-1pm CT

What is governance for and what would a minimal government look like? What is the best way of securing liberty for individuals and communities? Are there any established principles that we can turn to to inform us about these questions?

This discussion will revolve around the concept of (multiscale) localism and how it relates to complex systems science.

Special Guest: Joe Norman, applied complexity scientist; founder & chief scientist at Applied Complexity Science, LLC; instructor at Real World Risk Institute; affiliate of New England Complex Systems Institute; PhD, Complex Systems and Brain Sciences

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. A Zoom link will be sent to your UChicago email address 60 minutes prior to the seminar start time. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Ashley Jorn (ashleyjorn@uchicago.edu). Capacity is limited in order to allow for discussion. If necessary, attendance will be determined via lottery; however, all registered UChicago students will have the opportunity to observe seminars. Observers will be moved into the discussion if space allows. We encourage observers to sign up for office hours; Fellows will answer any questions you're unable to ask in seminars.
