Professor Timothy L. Fort holds the Eveleigh Professorship in Business Ethics and is Professor of Business Law & Ethics at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University.
Description
Music, sports, movies and other cultural artifacts offer bridges for people who might otherwise disagree with each other on social and political issues. I argue that it is essential that we recover the capability of sharing bonds with those who politically differ from us even when these divides are historical and sharpened by the challenge of increasing diversity, social media (as well as network media) siloing of viewpoints and gerrymandered political districts. There is little reason to believe that these divisions will be any less antipodal in one year or five years unless there is either (a) a common enemy that unites us or (b) a model of navigating cultural divides that can cultivate common ground.
The same cultural artifacts have a psychophysiological impact on our cognitive orientations so that we view situations differently if our cognitive mindset is, for example, in an us vs them orientation as opposed to one that is joyful. I provide a model of mood orientation and cognitive decision-making that teaches how to create one’s own nudges. More specifically, some of these nudges open the way to build bridges with others with whom we may otherwise be in conflict. That is true not only as we work together toward providing a product or service, but also through “cultural artifacts” such as music, sports, film and humor and even, yes, through our pets and our spiritual traditions, which can broaden the contexts of our relationships.

Are you driven by tech? Are you searching for a role in a fast growing and rapidly advancing industry? Have you thought about a career in crypto?
Cryptocurrency’s hype goes beyond coin investments and NFTs. Governments, organizations, and even financial institutions and regulators are realizing the benefits of going digital and adopting cryptocurrencies as an official payment method. The top tech companies are already looking at creating their own currencies, while other more traditional companies like Nike, and Coca-Cola have entered the NFT space.
The good news is many of these jobs are still developing, meaning in some cases they require absolutely no experience. The even better news is that with such large adoption and advancements the hunt for fresh talent is at an all-time high.
But how can you take advantage and prepare yourself to enter a career in such a transformative industry without any formal education? And how can you possibly know if a career in cryptocurrency would suit you?
In this session with Estaban Castano, Co-founder and CEO at TRM Labs, we will discuss:
- How you can upskill during university or after graduation
- Where to look to develop essential knowledge about the industry
- What technical and non technical jobs are available for graduates
- What makes the crypto space interesting
- How you can transition into crypto from a different industry.
