Jean Ensminger: Experimenting with Social Norms 11/19/2003
[cable/DSL] [broadband] [56k modem] 48 minutes
Caltech professor of anthropology Jean Ensminger presented this lecture as part of the Watson Lecture Series. Social norms instruct much of human social interaction in all societies and they often flavor profound differences across cultures. But where do such norms come from? How and why do they change over time? What impact do they have on economic performance? Ensminger discusses these topics, based on her experience over several decades of research with a nomadic cattle-herding population in East Africa.
