More Flavor: Discussion Richard Shweder: Rethinking Cultural Psychology... and the “Enlightenment” Along the Way

  • 300grandstaircase_2_large

The University of Chicago's Richard Shweder is a cultural anthropologist who has taught in Nairobi, Kenya, and done extensive fieldwork in the temple town of Bhubaneswar. In the latter, a state of Orissa, India, he examined the ways in which its denizens perceive concepts of the self. Having studied familial sleeping arrangements in different cultures, the difficult domestic lives of Hindu women, and female genital mutilation, Shweder has developed a diverse global perspective that should kick off a lively conversation in this talk, the first of the Cultural Center and the Chicago School of Professional Psychology's Starting from Scratch lecture series.
