Have you ever wondered if you are evil, or perhaps a saint?

Indeed, the age-old question of whether humans are good or evil has been pondered by many a famous and thoughtful mind across history... But so what? You are a busy person; you want answers now! You could consult religious sources or ancient philosophers... but why bother when we can instead look at scientific theories backed by empirical research?

Join Associate Professor of Psychology Paul Conway on a whirlwind tour of the psychological science of morality: How do scientists measure moral thoughts, emotions, and behaviours? Can morality emerge through biological processes, and what does this have to do with picnics and global stock markets? Is it possible that even the French could become moral? (No).

Heckling is allowed and even encouraged, and you can also ask questions (even the kind that suggest you might be evil). So come to this science comedy show and find out whether you should be wearing a halo, horns, or both!
