This View of Life takes a deep dive with the best and brightest thinkers on anything and everything from an evolutionary perspective. Hosted by David Sloan Wilson.
Peter
Gray, the first psychologist to write an introductory
psychology textbook from an evolutionary perspective, experienced a
family crisis when his son started to rebel against public school.
Finding alternative schooling for his son led Peter to champion a
new paradigm for child development and education from an
evolutionary perspective.
He joins David to discuss this journey and more, including how
children learn by imitating “real” people, how graduate
school is like hunter-gatherer education, and whether we need
creativity more than ever.
And explore the Evolution Institute's
East Tampa Academy project, where we are taking the best of
what science tells us about how young minds learn to create a
high-quality, tuition-free school for children at risk of academic
failure.
