October 16, 2014 898

Are social and behavioral sciences receiving the respect they deserve in the US today? SAGE founder and executive chairman Sara Miller McCune and Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman sat down to discuss this as well as the importance of interdisciplinary work in the sciences, how social science can enrich the development of public and social policy in the economic and political turmoil in the world, and the possibility of behavioral sciences in the White House. The pair also discussed Kahneman’s acceptance of the inaugural SAGE-CASBS Award. You can view their conversation below:

The second SAGE-CASBS Award will be presented at the 2014 Behavioral & Social Science Summit, run by the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University on November 8, 2014. For more information on the summit, click here.
