Dr. Hanne Watkins, post-doctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, will present a psychology lecture titled, “The Moral Psychology of Killing in War” 10-10:50 a.m. in Room 315 Butler-Carton Civil Engineering Hall Friday, March 9.
Watkins will present a set of studies exploring how people evaluate soldiers in war. She will also argue more broadly for a novel approach to studying war in moral psychology, and demonstrate the implications for moral psychology, the philosophy of war and our understanding of war in general.
