SUMMARY:Last Lecture: "Creativity\, Crisis\, and Why Our Imaginations Matter" by Dr. Marilen Loyola
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 1 at 4 p.m. to hear Dr. Marilen Loyola present her “Last Lecture” via Zoom. \nThe Last Lecture is part of the Spring Forum series at the University and provides an opportunity for students to nominate a member of the faculty to deliver his or her ‘last lecture’ as the University nears the end of its academic year. Although this year\, it’s the non-forum series\, Dr. Loyola will present on “Creativity\, Crisis\, and Why Our Imaginations Matter.” \nThe Last Lecture series at Rockford University was inspired by Randy Pausch. Dr. Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 1997 to his death in 2008. Before his death\, he was asked to give the students his Last Lecture. Dr. Pausch delivered a laugh-filled session of teaching stories\, about going after your childhood dreams\, and helping others achieve theirs. The Last Lecture Series has been made possible through the generosity of the Father Robert J. Verstynen Trust; honoring Rockford University faculty members for their years of teaching and example of lifelong learning. \nRegistration is not required for this event\, just use this Zoom link on Monday\, Feb. 1 at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Non-Forum Series: "A Reckoning of Political Misperceptions: The Psychological Origins of the Storming of the U.S. Capitol" by Dr. Ian Anson
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ian Anson will present “A Reckoning of Political Misperceptions: The Psychological Origins of the Storming of the U.S. Capitol” as part of our Non-Forum Series for the Spring 2021 semester. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, February 16\, 2021\, at 6 p.m. via Zoom. There is no formal registration.  \nTalk Description:\nOn January 6\, 2021\, a group of Americans stormed the U.S. Capitol\, attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election by force. This event rattled Congress\, captured headlines\, and left many Americans with a newfound sense of dismay. How did it all come to this? \nPolitical psychologists have devoted decades to understanding why and how Americans develop—and act upon—fringe political beliefs. In this presentation\, I review recent advances in the fields of misinformation\, polarization\, and motivated reasoning. In doing so\, I explain how ordinary Americans can develop dangerous misperceptions\, why such misperceptions are difficult to correct\, and what these trends portend for future political movements in the United States. \nBio:\nIan Anson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at UMBC in Baltimore\, Maryland. He joined the department in 2015\, after completing a Ph.D. in Political Science and an M.S. in Applied Statistics at Indiana University-Bloomington. Ian’s research primarily investigates partisan motivated reasoning\, a phenomenon that causes Republicans and Democrats to maintain diverging views of political and economic reality. His other work addresses diverse topics in public opinion\, political psychology\, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Recently\, Ian was honored to receive UMBC’s CAHSS Early-Career Faculty Excellence Award.
