How rituals made our world – and how they could save it

Rituals are a way of defining the boundaries of social groups and binding their members together. In this lecture, Harvey Whitehouse seeks to unravel the psychology behind these processes, to explain how ritual behaviour evolved and how different kinds of ritual performance have shaped global history over many millennia. Building on this research, he points to new ways of addressing cooperation problems in the twenty-first century: from preventing violent extremism and tackling crime to managing global pandemics and motivating action on the climate crisis.
