Pride, Prejudice, and Strategic Thinking: A Conversation between Michael Chwe and Anne Mellor

Tuesday, May 28
4 p.m.

Who used game theory long before Cold War think tanks employed mathematics to understand strategic maneuvering? None other than Jane Austen, whose beloved, acclaimed novels illustrate game theory in action in nineteenth-century English drawing rooms. Michael Suk-Young Chwe, UCLA associate professor of political science and author of the recently released Jane Austen, Game Theorist, and Anne K. Mellor, UCLA Distinguished Professor of English and an expert in British literature and cultural history, will engage in a wide-ranging discussion about strategic thinking, nineteenth-century British society, and human behavior.

Admission is free, but RSVPs are requested by email or by phone to 310.825.6925. The event is co-sponsored by UCLA Department of English, UCLA Department of Political Science, and UCLA Friends of English.
