What's the Self? - Eric Oliver
Manage episode 397766363 series 3345055
Eric Oliver is Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. He studies American politics, public opinion, political psychology, local politics, racial attitudes, the politics of science, and the self.
Recent research papers examine why Americans believe in conspiracy theories, how credulous Americans are about misinformation, why 2016 was a populist election, and why liberals and conservatives name their children differently.
His most recent book, Enchanted America argues that the major political divisions in this country are not simply defined by party, ideology, or race but by worldview. The gap between “intuitionists” and “rationalists” can account for much of what is bizarre and troubling about American politics today.
He is currently working on a new book called The Intelligible Self.
