THIS SESSION IS AIMED AT POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTS AND POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS
Our
cultural background has a profound influence on each of us. It shapes our
behaviour, values and beliefs. It even affects our thought processes and
how perceive the world. In this half-day course, we will examine where
culture comes from and identify many extraordinary examples of its
diversity. A simple gesture or phrase can mean dramatically different
things from one culture to another and can cause unintended embarrassment,
confusion or even offence. We learn to consider how others might
interpret our behaviour and also examine our own interpretations, focusing on
some of the areas that can cause division, such as gender norms, perceptions of
rudeness and body language.
