Overview
The Toulouse Summer School in Quantitative Social Sciences at Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) and the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST) offer an interdisciplinary program in the social and behavorial sciences. The summer school is open to PhD students in economics and other disciplines.
Overview
Evolutionary theory provides a powerful organizing conceptual framework for understanding human social behavior that spans academic disciplines (anthropology, biology, economics, and psychology), levels of explanation (proximate, ultimate, developmental, and phylogenetic) and levels of social organization (dyads, families, communities, and beyond). In doing so, this framework helps explain variation in human sociality across space and time.
This first part of the summer school will provide an overview of evolutionary approaches to understanding human sociality from an interdisciplinary perspective, incorporating the most recent theoretical and empirical advances.
The first week comprises a three-day course by Jonathan Stieglitz on human social evolution from an evolutionary anthropological perspective, followed by a one-day course by Catherine Molho on the psychological and cultural underpinnings of punishment, and a one-day course by Maxime Derex on the effect of human sociality on cumulative cultural evolution. During the second week, students will attend the 11th Toulouse Economics and Biology Workshop held on Monday, June 3, and Tuesday, June 4 (theme: “Inequality in Networks”). Lastly, to finish part one of the summer school, Jorge Peña will teach a three-day course on mathematical models of social evolution.
