SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: The James Sidanius Lecture on Social Inequality ~ Cailin O'Connor, PhD, UC Irvine
DESCRIPTION:<p>	The Department of Psychology and the Department’s Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging presents:</p><h4>	<a href="https://cailinoconnor.com/" title="">Cailin O'Connor, Ph.D.</a>, </h4><p>	Professor in the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science,  University of California, Irvine speaking at the</p><h4>	<strong>4th Memorial James Sidanius Lecture on Social Inequality</strong><strong> </strong></h4><h4>	<strong><span style="background-color:#ffff00">1:30 PM</span>...</strong> <span style="background-color:#ffff00">(Note new time)</span></h4><p>	 </p><p>	<strong><u>Topic</u>:  The Dynamics of Inequity </strong></p><p>	<span>It is no secret that some people get more and others get less. In most societies, seemingly irrelevant personal factors like gender and race importantly determine patterns of resource distribution. In this talk, I will use cultural evolutionary models to explain the ubiquity of such patterns, and illuminate features of how categorical inequity works. As I argue, in a bargaining population, the simple addition of a social category like gender or race completely changes the expected cultural evolutionary outcomes by breaking symmetry between actors in a group. I explore the conditions under which members of one category are expected to end up disadvantaged in these models, focusing on power imbalances, intersectional effects, and information carried by visible tags.</span></p>
