Hampshire College invites the public to a lecture by George A. Bonanno 83S, a pioneering researcher in the field of bereavement and trauma and the author of The Other Side of Sadness. The lecture, entitled “The Science of Resilience: Understanding the Human Capacity to Thrive in the Face of Extreme Adversity,” is on February 9 at 5:30 p.m. in Franklin Patterson Hall (Main Lecture Hall).
Bonanno is a professor of clinical psychology and of psychology and education at Columbia University. His research examines how adults and children respond to and cope with extremely aversive events. Recent work focuses more specifically on defining psychological resilience in adults exposed to extreme adversity and on the psychological and contextual factors that might inform resilient outcomes.
Professor Bonanno is a Hampshire graduate and is speaking at the College through its Cognitive Science Distinguished Alumni Lecture Series. His visit to campus is also supported by the SPARC Fund (Supporting Professional Alums Returning to Campus). Admission is free.
