This lecture, "Dynamics of Inequity" by Cailin O'Connor, is part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Explore how inequalities emerge and persist in societies through the lens of evolutionary game theory. Learn about the mathematical models that explain social phenomena like discrimination, unfair resource distribution, and power imbalances. Understand how individual choices and behaviors collectively shape population-level outcomes that lead to systemic inequities. This 1-hour 35-minute presentation contributes to a broader interdisciplinary program bringing together biologists, cognitive scientists, economists, and physicists to examine cooperation, decision-making, and social dynamics across different scales. The lecture connects to the program's focus on evolutionary game theoretic models, the effects of inequalities in social dilemmas, cultural evolution, and cognitive aspects of decision-making.
