On Being Wrong: Admitting (And Even Embracing) Fallibility - CANCELLED

In our society - and in education, especially - people are encouraged to provide the "right" answer, and are not encouraged to focus on the process utilized to achieve the results. Consequently, most of us hate being wrong. This talk will examine the psychological processes at work when we make mistakes which, if explored and understood, allow us to admit when we're wrong, and even to embrace our fallibility.
