How Do We Learn?

We’re all learning about the world all the time—not just as small children but all the way into old age. But how do we learn how to learn? How much depends on the circumstances of our birth, our upbringing, and our formal education? How can we get better at learning and teaching? And how do we figure out what’s valuable to retain and what’s important to ignore?

Join our live audience on the Stanford campus as the Philosophers record a brand-new episode with Catherine Hartley, Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at NYU and Director of the Hartley Lab.

In addition to thought-provoking conversation and audience questions, the show will feature multimedia reporting from our Roving Philosophical Reporter and satirical commentary from Ian Shoales the Sixty-Second Philosopher.

This event is generously sponsored by the Stanford Symbolic Systems Program.
