Check out this recent podcast with our PI, Catherine Herfeld, which touches on her work on the history and philosophy of rational choice theory, her forthcoming book Conversations on Rational Choice, and, of course, #ModelTransfer!
In their great podcast, I try to answer a set of challenging questions asked by Jennifer Jhun and François Allison about my book Conversations on Rational Choice and about how I would classify my work in the disciplinary landscape, among other things: hetpodcast.libsyn.com/episode-nine...

After some time, I could finally visit the PPE program at George Mason U again; such a good discussion (& catching up with my fellow JHET editor & former classmate Erwin Dekker). Plus: another day at the Rockefeller Archives and the New York Public Library for preparing my talk and the workshop.
