Below are speaker notes for a talk I gave at LSE as part of the workshop entitled "Behavioural Transformations in the 21st century" on July 7th 2022. The talk itself is interactive and not fully scripted. Hopefully the notes below will help if anyone wants to source various material or follow up on any points.
What is behavioural science? Historically. Current field definitions.
How can we incorporate well-being into the evaluation of behavioural public policy? More generally, clarifying interaction between normative foundations, evidence and practice.
How can we deal with the complexity of cultural variation? Moving beyond just pointing out the WEIRDNESS of behavioural science? Global team based science.
What are the emerging ethical issues in the integration of behavioural science? How do these manifest in public and private sectors as well as NGOs?
What issues emerge when we scale behavioural science ideas? When we go from the lab or from theory to the world, what sort of dynamic feedback loops might arise? What have we learned in this regard from covid? Social representations of behavioural science.
What structures will emerge nationally and globally in these areas? BPP Journal, IBBPA, JBPA. Professional structures BSPA, GAABS, Government networks, Private Sector Networks.
