Renowned scholar, writer, and speaker Dr. Phil Zimbardo, will speak about his new book, the Lucifer Effect, at MIT on April 2, 2007 and at Harvard Law School on April 3.

The abuses and tortures of Abu Ghraib prison serve as the case study for understanding such horrors not as the work of a "few bad apples," but rather as the consequence of a set of identifiable Situational variables and Systemic forces - "the bad barrel" and "the bad barrel makers."
