So why is it still often thought of as a guilty pleasure?Hosted by Jeff Probst, Survivor has been described as a microcosm of real life. It is an amplified social and psychological experiment where players are placed in a remote location and challenged to collaborate and compete against each other until one person is crowned Sole Survivor.This talk will explore why Survivor is not just something worth watching, but something worth learning from. Through alliances, strategy, and competition, Survivor offers a framework for thinking about psychology, leadership, representation, collaboration, ethics, and persuasion. The evening will explore the potential of reality TV, and how it can offer insight into our real lives.Survivors ready?

It’s a space to tap back into that curiosity, hear new ideas, and actually leave with something to think about. We bring in fresh topics that make sense in real life, not just in textbooks, and pair that with a room full of people who are also here because they enjoy learning for the sake of it.It’s about more than the event. It’s about finding community with people who’d rather swap insights than small talk, and who believe learning doesn’t stop at graduation." } ] } ] ```
