Laboratory demonstrations have featured Professor Gay being tackled by a 370-pound lineman\, pummeled with a sledgehammer as he lies on a bed of nails\, and learning the finer points of passing from Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch. The problem of simultaneous edification and amusement of the fan in the stands is considered.

He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and served as the Speaker of the APS Council in 2018.  \nDr. Gay’s visit is in partnership with Sigma Xi and the American Chemical Society.

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.

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. URL:https://www.rockford.edu/calendar-item/last-lecture-creativity-crisis-and-why-our-imaginations-matter-by-dr-marilen-loyola/ LOCATION:Rockford University\, 5050 E.
