This course provides students interested in cognition
with the opportunity to study the social
and cultural aspects of thinking.
It uses a psychological, and at times
cognitive scientific, lens to explore
issues such as the relation of language and thought,
narrative development, memory (individual and
collective), emotion, morality, transmission of knowledge,
concepts, implicit cognition. It will survey
research and theory within social psychology, cognitive
psychology, linguistics, and cross-cultural psychology
and provide implications from and for
philosophy, anthropology, literature, artificial
intelligence, and politics. This course is also
concerned with methodological and theoretical
challenges in the integration of cultural
perspectives in psychology
