Visiting Faculty Fellow Research Talks
These events showcase the cutting-edge research of the Kilts Center’s visiting faculty fellows. In line with our integrative, multidisciplinary approach to marketing, we invite fellows from a wide range of fields, including behavioral science, economics, and cognitive psychology. Past talks have covered the evolution of consumer expertise, the emergence and impact of e-commerce, and the intersection of quantitative marketing and empirical industrial organization.
Visiting Faculty Fellow Research Talks offer faculty and PhD students a first look at what top researchers are working on, new insights they can apply to their own work, and a chance to pose their marketing and research questions to experts in the field. The event is also an excellent opportunity to network with fellow researchers for future collaborative projects.
Visiting Faculty Fellows
Our Visiting Faculty Fellows initiative supports faculty research, fosters an environment conducive to new projects, and encourages collaboration. Experts in their fields, visiting fellows come to Chicago Booth from institutions around the world, including Columbia University, Stanford University, the University of Toronto, the University of New South Wales, and ESADE in Barcelona, Spain.

His work has been discussed in various media outlets including TIME Magazine, The Guardian, BBC, ABC and WIRED Magazine. Ben writes regularly for the on-line newspaper The Conversation on topics including risk-taking, ‘nudging’ behaviour, intuition, and the psychology of climate change.
