From Passion to Politics: What Moves People to Take Action?
April 20-21, 2007
The fifth annual Princeton Colloquium on Public and International Affairs, "From Passion to Politics: What Moves People to Take Action?" will be held on Friday, April 20 and Saturday, April 21, 2007. Co-sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and Princeton University's Office of Religious Life, this year's Colloquium will explore what motivates people to move beyond cognitive awareness of a problem to take actual steps to provide assistance. This theme was triggered by keynote speaker Dr. Paul Slovic's work on the psychological explanation for our failure to be moved by genocide.
