Part 3 Neurobiology of Morality - Livestream

In "Neurobiology of Morality," Dr. Strand begins by briefly introducing the historical assumption that morality and religion are closely linked. Next, Sarah describes that contemporary moral psychologists show that humans - whether male or female, atheist or religious, American or Aboriginal - make remarkably similar moral judgments. So if religion doesn’t guide our moral judgments, what does? The presentation concludes with a discussion of data from human and non-human studies that suggest regions in the frontal and temporal lobes form a “moral network" and that morality is subject to evolutionary mechanisms in much the same way as physical and behavioral traits.

Dr. Sarah Strand created her course Psychology of Religion for California State University Sacramento after speaking to community groups around Northern California and Nevada for ten years.
