📚 Lecture: “Love Is Blind, Data Is Not: Reality TV Behavior Explained”

🎤 Speaker: Sonia Natasha Sharma, MPH

Join us for a fascinating evening with Sonia Natasha Sharma as we explore the intriguing world of reality TV, one of the largest unregulated behavioral experiments of our time. In this lecture, Sonia will break down the dynamics of dating and competition shows, revealing how they systematically shape societal norms and personal identities.

Drawing on her background in public health and psychology, along with her firsthand experience on reality TV, Sonia offers a unique look into how storylines are constructed, emotions are engineered, and certain behaviors are rewarded by producers. What often appears as mere entertainment actually reflects cultural trends long before they become widely recognized. Expect compelling data, insightful cultural analysis, and a behind-the-scenes perspective that you typically only hear off camera.

Sonia Natasha Sharma studies human behavior through the lenses of public health, psychology, and pop culture. With experience on shows like The Bachelor and in scripted films, she has a front-row seat to how edited narratives influence relationships, mental health, and identity.

Don’t miss this opportunity to uncover the hidden science behind your favorite reality shows!
