Professors You’ve Heard of Talking About Things They Love

Posted by Katie McNicol on February 9, 2010 at 11:31 pm

What do Steven Pinker, Matthew Kaiser, and David Malan have in common? Well, they are all Harvard professors, you have probably heard of all of them, and they are all speaking this Thursday in Sanders Theatre at the same event.

CEB, HUTV and the UC are coming together to present Harvard Thinks Big, an event which will highlight ten of Harvard’s most well known professors speaking for ten minutes about their favorite subjects. What does this mean for you? A night of watching some of the most charismatic professors Harvard has to offer and no essay, midterm or final to follow.

Other professors joining the team are Diana Eck, Allen Counter, Daniel Gilbert, Maria Tatar, Richard Wrangham, Timothy Patrick McCarthy, and Andrew Berry. Topics will surely range from issues in psychology and computer science to literature and even folklore and mythology.

Admission is free and only open to Harvard undergrads and the lectures are planned to start this Thursday at 8pm in Sanders Theatre.
