About the ProgramWhat is property, and why does our species have it? Bart J. Wilson explores how humans acquire, perceive, and know the custom of property, and why this might be relevant to understanding how property works in the twenty-first century. Arguing that neither the sciences nor the humanities synthesizes a full account of property, Dr. Wilson offers a cross-disciplinary compromise that is sure to be controversial: Property is a universal and uniquely human custom. Join us for this event as Dr. Wilson delivers a public lecture based on his recently published book, The Property Species: Mine, Yours, and the Human Mind (August 2020) in which he explains why people claim things as "Mine!", and what that means for our humanity.
