Warwick Economics Lecture with Dr Thomas Curran
OC0.03

The Department of Economics are delighted to announce Dr Thomas Curran, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at LSE and author of The Perfection Trap, as the final speaker in our Warwick Economics Lecture series for the academic year.

'The Perfection Trap'

Date: Friday 26 April
Time: 3 - 4pm followed by a short drinks reception
Location: OC0.03

This event is for students and staff only and registration is required in order to attend.

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
