Game Changer - the game theory podcastEvolutionary game theory or ‘Why you can trust a peacock’ | with Kevin ZollmanIn this episode, we are talking to Kevin Zollman, professor of Philosophy and Social and Decision Sciences.

We also discuss the limits of these concepts and alternative explanations that form the current state of research on this topic. Kevin Zollman is professor of Philosophy and Social and Decision Sciences a...2021-10-2629 min

Futureproof GoldFutureproof Gold: Game TheoryCan we apply the logic of mathematics to human interactions? What about the wild altercations of the animal kingdom? Game Theory is the study of how we can use mathematical models to understand the interactions of self-interested actors; the application of it may help us in many endeavours from negotiating better wages to even deterring nuclear war.

Think Again - a Big Think PodcastMitchell S. Jackson (writer) – Notes from the other AmericaWe’re all living inside concentric circles of private and public, inner and outer. From the time we’re small we start to understand that these circles aren’t always friendly to one another. There’s friction at their borders. The stuffed bunny that keeps your heart whole gets you tormented at school. The people you love most don’t look or sound like the cool people on TV. And neither do you. This is true to some extent for all of us, but if you’re growing up black in the other America—the one where everyday life is full of the ki...2019-03-0255 min

MCMP – LogicIntroduction to NetworksKevin Zollman (CMU) gives a lecture (first session) at the Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students (26 July - 1 Agusut, 2015) titled "Introduction to Networks". Abstract: Social networks have become a central feature of the scientific study of social behavior and have been imported into philosophical discussions – like ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of science – where social behavior is important. In ethics, scholars have asked what effect social networks might have on the evolution and maintenance of different ethical norms like fairness, cooperation, and altruism. As epistemologists have begun to take the social nature of knowledge more seriously, they too have...2015-07-3100 min

MCMP – EpistemologyThe Formation of Epistemic NetworksKevin Zollman (CMU) gives a talk at the Conference on Agent-Based Modeling in Philosophy (11-13 December, 2014) titled "The Formation of Epistemic Networks". Abstract: One important area of study for social epistemology is the social structure epistemic groups -- who communicates their knowledge with whom? Significant research has been done on better and worse communication networks, but less has been done on how a group comes to have one network or another. In this talk, I will present a number of results (some recent) from economics and philosophy about how individuals choose with whom to communicate. Understanding how individuals decide where...2015-07-2100 min
