WINONA, Minn. – A psychologist whose expertise is bullying and bad behavior, Catherine Sanderson, is speaking Wednesday at Winona State University. Time: 7 p.m. in the Science Learning Center. Sanderson’s major book, “Why We Act: Turning Bystanders into Moral Rebels,” was the 2020 Washington Post book of the year. At Winona State it has been the year’s Common Book, an English Department project to encourage campuswide dialogue around a single title. The book is especially relevant in the Age of Trump, said an organizer. Sanderson’s focus at Winona State will be police training programs to encourage ethical policing. “Why We Act” has ben issued in several editions. In Britain the subtitle is “The Psychology of Courage and Inaction.”
