Join us for an evening of guided discussion. Together, in small groups of 4-6, we will discuss different aspects of values, potentially including:
Our own intrinsic and instrumental values
Health (QALY/DALY) vs subjective wellbeing (WELLBY) as a way to measure value captured – what they are missing and how they could be improved
How we succeed (or fail) at representing differing values within effective interventions
Value drift, or the change in the values held by an individual or community
No background knowledge is needed, just an interest in these topics. We’ll provide relevant context and suggested discussion questions.
If you’re interested in joining, please RSVP so I can plan for enough drinks & snacks.
Date: Thursday, March 16
Time: 7:00 – 9:30 pm
7:00pm—Arrive, mingle
7:20pm—Announcements, then break into groups for guided discussions
9:00pm—Return to whole group
