An Evening with Dacher Keltner, author of “Awe: the New Science of Everyday Wonder”

As part of The Gambrell Foundation’s new initiative to invest in Ideas Worth Trying™, they are bringing Dr. Keltner to Charlotte to help us explore what role awe plays in creating a great life. They invite you to learn why everyday awe and wonder is so essential and how we can experience collective awe in our community more often.

Dacher Keltner’s research focuses the biological and evolutionary origins of compassion, awe, love, and beauty, and power, social class, and inequality. As a Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and director of the Berkeley Social Interaction Lab, he is a leading scholar in the study of emotion, including a new project on awe around the globe, as well as power, class, and inequality.

The event is free, but registration is required.

The event will be held at the Sandra Levine Theatre in the Sarah Belk Gambrell Center for the Arts and Civic Engagement at Queens University of Charlotte.
