Published 1 year ago
Professor Paul Ekman will deliver the 2011-2012 Kenan Distinguished Lecture in Ethics, entitled “When, Why, and Should We Lie: The Science Behind Lie To Me.” The annual series brings a distinguished speaker to campus to address moral issues of broad social and cultural significance.
In 1991, Ekman was awarded the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award, the American Psychological Association’s highest award for basic research. In 2001, he was named by the American Psychological Association as one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century. And in 2009, TIME Magazine listed him as one of the top 100 most influential people of that year. Ekman’s work in psychology and facial expression is the basis behind the popular TV show “Lie to Me,” and he has written numerous books, including Telling Lies and Emotional Awareness (co-authored by the Dalai Lama). He’ll discuss emotion, expression, and deceit.
