CANCELED - Cairo: Culture and Psychology

THE STUDY TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELED

• PY/GS2045 Social Psychology
• PY/GS3091A Topics: Gender and Health

Explore the idea of culture as a form of collective identity and practices. Together with students from the American University in Cairo (AUC), take a one-day workshop to discuss how phenomena of cultural difference are approached in psychology and the social sciences. Discuss concepts of “culture” as they relate to “nation”, religion”, “gender” and society at large. To understand how culture shapes concepts of well-being and health, visit the AUC Psychology department. Witness how we shape culture and how culture shapes us in culturally meaningful places in Cairo and engage in a dialogue about the meaning of these places with our AUC partner students. Among other sites, visit the Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, the Al Azhar Mosque, and the Khan El-Khalil bazar together with local tour guides.
