Joan Chiao, a professor of psychology at Northwestern University, speaks March 11th at the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago in Skokie. Her topic is “The Cultural Brain: Interaction of Genes and Culture.” Chiao will discuss how both genes and culture may drive evolutionary and developmental outcomes. She will share her findings on how “collectivist” Eastern cultures buffer individuals against their genetic predisposition for depression and anxiety.
All are invited to Coffee Hour after the talk. The Sunday programs are free and open to the public, and childcare is available. For more information, please visit ethicalhuman.org.
