This lecture explores the evolution of gendered division of labor as part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into how evolutionary game theory can explain the development of gender roles in labor distribution across societies. Learn from Professor Cailin O'Connor in this 85-minute presentation that connects biological and cultural evolution to social phenomena. The lecture is part of a broader interdisciplinary program bringing together biologists, cognitive scientists, economists, and physicists to understand cooperation and decision-making across biological scales. Gain insights into how individual choices shape population-level outcomes, the role of learning in behavioral evolution, and how network structures influence social dynamics. Perfect for PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members working in related fields.
