-Warwick Economics Lecture with Dr Thomas Curran

'The Perfection Trap'
Date: Friday 26 April
Time: 3 - 4pm followed by a short drinks reception

Christian Soegaard will introduce the speaker and chair the session. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in a Q&A at the end of the lecture, as well as network at our drinks reception in the Oculus foyer after the lecture has taken place.
About the Lecture
This talk will be about the trap of perfectionism. Thomas will discuss the overzealous hypercriticality that germinates in a society that always wants more, and how, while perfectionism ostensibly seeks to improve us, it ultimately leads to hugely negative consequences for our personal wellbeing, performances, and the welfare of our communities at large. If you've ever wondered what's the matter with perfectionism, or why it seems to be the defining characteristic of our times, this talk is for you.
About the Speaker
Dr Thomas Curran is a world-leading expert on perfectionism, author of the best-selling book The Perfection Trap, and acclaimed associate professor of psychology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His TED Talk on perfectionism has received over three million views, he has written for major international publications such as TIME magazine and the Harvard Business Review, and his work has been featured in the BBC, New Scientist, New York Times, CNN, and Wall Street Journal.

-Faculty of Social Sciences Public Lecture with Andrew Oswald
FAB0.03The Department of Economics are delighted to host our first public lecture in the Faculty of Social Science's lecture series with Andrew Oswald, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science.
Societal Unhappiness and the Uncertain Future of Democracy
Date: Tuesday 30 April
Time: 5.30-6.30pm followed by a short drinks reception
Location: FAB0.03
This event is open to the public.
About the Talk
Mental health and happiness are worsening through time in the United States*. Approximately 40% of citizens in Western Europe today report high levels of worry, and there is a continuing upward trend in ‘national worry’. These trends were visible before COVID, the invasion of Ukraine, and the conflict in Gaza, showing that something foundational and unrealised is happening within Western society. Measured levels of trust are declining quickly.
Andrew Oswald will discuss the nature of these concerning issues, exploring why an unhappy population puts a country's faith in government and the future of democracy at risk. He will leave plenty of time for questions and open discussion.
This lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, where you will have the opportunity to meet the speaker.

Andrew Oswald is Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Warwick. He has worked at Warwick for three decades.

-India Sustainable Growth Conference 2024
LSE, OnlineThe India Sustainable Growth Conference at LSE provides a forum for sharing ideas in this space, as well as inviting discussion and debate. The Department of Economics are delighted to support this conference alongside the CAGE Research Centre, LSE and the International Growth Centre.
Creating a sustainable growth strategy for India
Date: Friday 3 May, 18:00 - 19:30
Venue: Online and the Old Theatre, LSE
Programme
Lifting millions out of poverty in India requires rapid economic growth and energy use. At the same time, environmental pollution and climate change create significant barriers to success.
Understanding how to overcome both these challenges at the same time is one of the most important policy problems facing India. It is also a problem that confronts many other developing countries whose policymakers may look to India’s choices for guidance. Any solutions will require increasing support for innovative, applied research and building collaborative international networks of researchers interested in this problem.
The India Sustainable Growth Conference at LSE provides a forum for sharing ideas in this space, as well as inviting discussion and debate. Jointly organised by the International Growth Centre (IGC), LSE STICERD’s Economics of Environment and Energy Programme, University of Warwick and Indian Statistical Institute, the conference aims to bring together PhD students from across the world working on environmental economics, and leading faculty also working at the intersection of environment and economics in India, alongside policymakers in India. It follows on from LSE’s Environment Camp designed to provide PhD students from all fields of economics the opportunity to present new research on environmental issues.
