Looking Forward at Booth

Professors have used the time during spring break to collaborate with other faculty and students to develop new methods of delivering course content and new research derived from insights from our current situation. Their work, a glimpse of which can be seen in the content below, show Booth as a dynamic place of unparalleled learning, collaboration, and forward thinking.

Take a glimpse into our virtual offerings here at Chicago Booth.

Bringing Research to Life in the Classroom

Ed O'Brien, Associate Professor of Behavioral Science, studies intuitions about everyday experiences, such as how people believe they'll change over time - in particular when and why these intuitions are misguided. In this video presentation, Professor O'Brien will provide an overview of his area of study as well as share insights from his research. He will also share how he and fellow faculty members bring their research into the classroom. View the lecture here.

Finally, you can get an insider look at Booth faculty's offices, in which faculty show off a meaningful object in their office and how it inspires them:

• Austan Goolsbee, Ben Bernanke’s chair
• Emir Kamenica, a monitor lizard skeleton
• Linda Ginzel, personal mementos from students
• Pradeep Chintagunta, collection of vintage electronics
• Richard Hornbeck, old west barbed wire
