Keynote Presentation
The Surprising Power of Social Networks
James Fowler
Our social networks drive and shape virtually every aspect of our lives. How we feel, whom we marry, whether we fall ill, how much money we make, what we believe and whether we vote all depend on what others around us—even those distantly connected to us—are doing, thinking, and feeling. Prof. Fowler's research reveals fascinating information about how generosity spreads, how networks impact productivity and creativity, and what this means for people who work to maximize their ability to make social change.
