Speaking

Social psychologist Kurt Gray is an award-winning researcher whose groundbreaking work in psychology and neuroscience rewrites our understanding of individual morality. 

As the Director of the Deepest Beliefs Lab and the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding, he uses interdisciplinary methods to illuminate the impact our most deeply-held beliefs have on society. In his new book, Outraged, Kurt applies the science of how the brain makes moral judgements to better understand how to bridge political division, foster meaningful connection between those who disagree, and find common ground. His engaging and accessible talks offer strategic applications of his innovative research for organizations and individuals looking to bring people together and present a compelling reminder that we are more alike than we might think.

The ideal speaker for any organization invested in bringing audiences together, Kurt illuminates valuable strategies to connect with one another in an increasingly fractured world. His talks are funny, balanced, and showcase his research in relatable and digestible presentations. Drawing from his experience transforming both public and private-sector organizations, Kurt coaches audiences on how to bridge political and religious divisions, foster meaningful connections, and defuse outrage and hatred.
