Society, Culture and Human Behaviour Workshop Series

Society, Culture & Human Bahaviour is a profound 6-week course that bridges the gap between individual consciousness and global community structures. By integrating the study of neuroscience and psychology with anthropology and political science, expert speakers provide a comprehensive look at everything from cognitive development and emotional intelligence to cultural evolution and modern political systems. You will investigate the fundamental mechanisms of the brain, the social norms that dictate group dynamics, and the complex societal frameworks—such as community building and social equality—that govern our daily interactions. Suitable for all, this course invites you to look inward and outward alike, questioning the status quo and seeing the connection between human nature and society in an entirely new light.

Explore the intersection of psychology, culture, and politics in our 6-week Society, Culture & Human Behaviour course.
