• Darwin’s Psychology: The Theatre of Agency will be launched via a Zoom webinar on Friday 7 May

A new book by a Charles Sturt University academic that examines Charles Darwin’s conception of the role of psychology in evolution will be launched at a webinar on Friday 7 May.

Darwin’s Psychology: The Theatre of Agency by Emeritus Professor Ben Bradley challenges conventional thinking about Darwin’s conception of the psychological evolution of species.

Professor Bradley is Foundation Professor of Psychology in the Charles Sturt School of Psychology.

His book presents a new Darwin to science, and shows how widely Darwin’s understanding of evolution and agency has been misunderstood and misrepresented in biology and the social sciences.

The Zoom presentation will be open from 6.45pm AEST, with Professor Bradley’s talk to start at 7pm and conclude by 8.30pm.

It is suggested that participants join the webinar 5 to 10 minutes beforehand to ensure connection.

Participants will be on mute during Professor Bradley’s presentation, though they can communicate through the chat function. Questions are welcomed there and more directly when Professor Bradley provides pauses for them.
