Dr Philip Zimbardo is a Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. He has been described as ‘a legendary teacher’, someone with a gift of enthralling his audience and packing a powerful message.
MY JOURNEY FROM CREATING EVIL TO INSPIRING HEROISM Dr. Zimbardo will share his views on the nature of evil, revisit the Milgram Obedience studies, his Stanford Prison Experiment, take us to the torture dungeon at Iraq's Abu Ghraib, and describe why it is essential to understand not only individual temperament, but also situational forces, and powerful system influences that create, justify and maintain, evil-‐generating situations. Finally, we go from examining how ordinary people do very bad things to how other ordinary people do very good things that qualify as Heroic. We uncover a new perspective on Ordinary Heroes, and why we need to encourage everyone to become Heroes-‐In-‐Waiting ready to act on behalf of others or a moral cause when the situation arises. Finally, Zimbardo invites us all of us to become HIPSTERS—part of his new Heroic Imagination Project.
