BERG/SHAIR Wednesday 13th November

by Alejandro Sanchez Amaro

Dear all, This is an announcement that this Wednesday Roman Stengeling from the Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Antrhopology in Leipzig, Germany will give a presentation on: Culture and Human Development: Issues of Global Representation and Contextualization. The talk will be online at 4pm and we will also gather in the Psychology Common Room. Since its inception, child development research has predominantly sampled participants from a narrow and unrepresentative range of cultural communities. Despite this, findings are typically generalized to represent "children" universally. This talk presents a systematic review of studies from five major journals (2016-2020), highlighting the persistent overrepresentation of children from culturally atypical populations, often in the absence of contextual detail. To illustrate the impact of this biased sampling and lack of contextualization, I will discuss recent cross-cultural research conducted in rural Namibia and urban Germany, examining cultural variation in socio-cognitive development—specifically, children’s cooperation in social dilemmas and their understanding of false beliefs. These findings advocate for culturally-inclusive approaches to finally advance a genuinely global, rather than regional, science of child development. best, Alex ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

Cafe Philosophique on Rational Animals

by Giacomo Melis

Hello Bergers, In case someone is interested, on Saturday October 19 I will run a discussion on "Rational Animals?" for the Stirling Science Festival<https://stirlingevents.org/tolbooth-event/science-festival-saturday-19-octo…>. The event will be at the Tolbooth from 2:30 to 3:30 pm. Just so you know what to expect, it will not be a lecture. Rather, I will make a 10-minute introduction to the topic, raise some question, invite suggestions from the audience, and I'll moderate the discussion. It will all be very informal and interactive. All the best, Giacomo --- Dr Giacomo Melis (he/him) UKRI Future Leader Fellow https://ared.stir.ac.uk/ https://empiricalepistemology.stir.ac.uk/ ________________________________ Scotland's University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159
