Please join us for a panel discussion to celebrate the latest (Fall/Winter 2006-07) issue of Greater Good. The panel will feature the magazine's editors and contributors, including legendary psychologist Philip Zimbardo (of the famed Stanford Prison Experiment) and New Orleans Times-Picayune photographer Ted Jackson. They will discuss the new issue's contents, including several essays on "the psychology of the bystander," and explain how local writers can contribute to the magazine's unique blend of science reporting and storytelling. The discussion will include a slide show of Jackson's work on Hurricane Katrina and consider the question of when reporters should intervene in the stories they cover and when they should remain bystanders.

What does inequality have to do with empathy? On May 4, 2004, Robert Reich delivered a public lecture, "Social Justice and Social Empathy: Where Did They Go? How Can We Regain Them?" which was sponsored by The Greater Good Science Center on the UC-Berkeley campus. Reich, a former labor secretary in the Clinton administration and a distinguished visiting professor at Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, engaged the overflowing audience in a lively discussion of how rising inequality and frayed social bonds go hand-in-hand. He also shared his thoughts on the role for a renewed form of public leadership to remind people of their responsibilities to one another.
