This week, faculty, students and staff gathered virtually just past noon to listen to Sharon Weiner (Associate Professor at the School of International Service at American University) discuss “Virtual Reality and Nuclear Crisis Decision Making.” Weiner spoke about how through using VR, we learn that emotion and past experiences, when combined with stress and uncertainty, can drastically impact foreign policy decision making. A lively Q&A with the audience followed.
