WHAT
DRIVES
YOU?
Profs. Mark Abdollahian and Jacek Kugler believe we can. By using innovative
FORMAL MODELING AND EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS, they have formulated extensions
of the theory of POWER TRANSITION—explaining the initiation of World War I and II
and accounting for peaceful relations among major powers during the Cold War.
Prof. Jenny Darroch believes moms are indeed becoming a force to be reckoned with.
She investigates and diagnoses HOW CORPORATIONS MARKET TO WOMEN,
including mothers—typically through gender-washing and stereotyping—suggesting
a NEEDS-BASED SEGMENTATION APPROACH among other solutions.
Sure it can. Blending theater and multimedia into a concert hall, Prof. Peter Boyer’s work
celebrates THE HISTORIC AMERICAN IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE and the American dream.
Employing actors, spoken text, projected historical images from the Ellis Island archives, and,
of course, CLASSICAL MUSIC, Boyers salutes our nation of immigrants.
Prof. Paul Zak believes the answer lies in oxytocin levels in the brain. As part of a discipline
called NEUROECONOMICS, which combines economics with neurology, biology, and
psychology, Zak’s experiments have shown that engaging in coupon clipping increases
OXYTOCIN LEVELS—a hormone that has been connected to feeling love and trust.
Prof. Mary Poplin spent FIVE YEARS OBSERVING 31 of the most highly effective teachers
(measured by student test scores) in the worst schools of Los Angeles, in neighborhoods
like South Central and Watts. She found disciplinarians who relied on traditional methods
of explicit instruction, like lectures, were the MOST EFFECTIVE TEACHERS all around.
Helping others, such as in volunteering, goes beyond ALTRUISTIC REASONS, according
to Prof. Allen Omoto. The strongest drivers of successful volunteers are actually more
SELF-FOCUSED, including the desire to learn new things (personal development) and
finding greater stability in life (esteem enhancement)—resulting in greater length of service.
The answer: ART BUSINESS. Blending a deep understanding of art and its markets with
with business, management knowledge, and application makes this program an innovative
addition to the creative industries. Its emphasis lies on the for-profit side of the industry and the
institutions that MANAGE, CONSERVE, EXHIBIT, PROMOTE, AND SELL WORKS OF ART.
INTERNATIONAL AID AND ASSISTANCE are often essential when natural disasters strike
developing countries. Yet, however well-intentioned, this support is often compromised by poor
decision-making, politics, and unequal distribution of aid. Prof. Paula Palmer helped survey 15,000
victims from recent DISASTERS IN SRI LANKA AND INDIA to better assess smarter aid assistance.
Prof. Patrick Mason’s study of North American religions reveals that as
GENDER ROLES EVOLVE in society at large, some conservative churches,
such as the Latter-Day Saints, are becoming LESS DOGMATIC about the
traditional HIERARCHY OF WOMEN in the congregation.
