Dr. Kahneman received the 2002 Nobel Prize in economic sciences for his groundbreaking work in integrating psychological research into economics. He developed an approach to the study of judgment and decision-making, which explores how human judgment may take shortcuts that separate from the basic principles of probability. Dr. Kahneman has taught at Princeton since 1993. Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, he received his bachelor’s degree from Jerusalem’s Hebrew University and his PhD from the University of California-Berkeley. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, the American Psychological Society, the Society of Experimental Psychologists, and the Econometric Society. Dr. Kahneman has won the Hilgard Award for Lifetime Contribution to General Psychology and the Warren Medal of the Society of Experimental Psychologists. The American Psychological Association recognized him with its Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award in 1982. The lecture, chaired by Dr. Aaron Levine, Samson and Halina Bitensky Professor of Economics, is named for Alexander Brody, a professor of economics and history who died in 1988 after a 34-year tenure at Yeshiva University.
