Destabilization, Risk, and Optimism in the World Today
David Stevens
World Policy Institute
Ideas of risk and security impact every aspect of our lives: from financial well being, to civil liberties, to matters of war and peace, and general anxiety. However, how we come to our conclusions about what constitutes a risk is much less frequently discussed. Using examples from the US and throughout the African Diaspora, this talk will look at the role that bias plays in our assessment of the world, how we are building old biases into our future, and how tackling bias might reveal previously hidden opportunities for global well being. A reception for students will follow the talk.David Stevens
