“Being Wrong” is this year’s Common Reading book for thousands of WSU students, with dozens of first-year and other classes
Today marks the first Common Reading Tuesdays lecture series presentation–please plan to attend!
Title: “Mistaken Adventures Around the Globe”
Presenter: WSU Spokane professor of criminal justice/criminology Bryan Vila
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Smith CUE 203
Looking at some of the “right’s” that have come from a series of “wrong’s,” Vila bases his presentation on his own life experiences. He was a teenaged Marine, a young street cop, and a police chief.
He will share his hard-won strategies for embracing error as inevitable, learning to recover with good humor, and wringing good lessons from bad times.
He’ll also describe how his unique simulation lab uses Normal Accident Theory to study the impact of fatigue-related errors on deadly force judgment and decision making, police driving, and counterinsurgency operations.
