Algorithms of Attraction: 'The Science of Beauty' with Dr Alex Jones

What makes a face attractive? Is beauty in the eye of the beholder, or is it defined by our culture - or our genes?
About this Event

In this talk, we’ll discuss the psychology of beauty, and examine the theories of attraction that may shape the Snape judgments we make about others every day.
Along the way we’ll explore your sensitivity to certain cues of beauty, whether ‘types’ exist and where they come from, and dive into the credibility of this area of research and what it means for psychology and our understanding of beauty.
