"A new research institute at UCLA wants to start a virtuous cycle of
generosity and do-gooding."

"Darnell Hunt, the dean of social sciences at UCLA and a scholar of
media and race, told me some of the questions the institute hopes to
investigate or answer: “What are the implications of kindness? Where
does it come from? How can we promote it? What are the relationships
between kindness and the way the brain functions? What are the
relationships between kindness and the types of social environment in
which we find ourselves? Is there such a thing as a kind economy? What
would that look like?”"
