Ep 50 - Mathematical Modeling for Peace, with Larry Liebovitch - Feb 2018
Update: 2018-02-02
Description
Accomplished astrophysicist and mathematician Larry Liebovitch discusses his current work on the AC4 Sustainable Peace Project with project lead, Peter T. Coleman. Liebovitch is a Professor of Physics and Psychology at Queens College of the City University of New York and also currently an Adjunct Senior Research Scientist at AC4. The professors discuss their collaborative work over the past three years with a team of scholars and practitioners on trying to understand peaceful societies and their core dynamics. Professor Liebovitch shares insights about the mix of time-honored and contemporary tools they are using on this project to understand complex systems of peaceful societies and to create models and real world applications from their understanding so that policymakers will be able to think more carefully about what they're doing in their communities to create peace. "This has been fun for me to work with because it is applying things from the physical sciences to a situation that is a lot more difficult to understand."
