DESCRIPTION:(with Heidi Colleran) "We propose to implement a lab-in-the-fi
 eld study on the island of Malekula\, Vanuatu\, to investigate cooperation
  within a heterogenous society. Vanuatu\, per capita the most linguistical
 ly diverse country on earth\, provides a perfect case in multiculturalism 
 featuring unique variation in regional\, tribal\, religious\, and linguist
 ic group markers but a high degree of homogeneity in other socio-economic 
 determinants of human behavior. Building on extensive ethnographic work\, 
 we adapt standard behavioral games to the specifics of the field site allo
 wing for novel insights on multiple competing identities\, research that i
 s only possible in such a society where not only multiple identities exist
  but where they also matter differently in different contexts. To this end
 \, we elicit with whom individuals prefer to interact\, their choices\, an
 d their beliefs about others' behavior while varying the salience of one o
 r another of the existing multi-level identities. While Vanuatu represents
  a rather unique environment\, inferences from a society where diversity i
 s enshrined in various aspects of life will be crucial to understand the e
 ffects of identities in a more and more diverse world."\nSpeakers:\nDomini
