About
Have you ever wondered about the nature of consciousness? Did you know that life experiences influence the expression of genes? Do you want to learn more about how your emotions are influenced by your culture and your biology? Did you ever think that perhaps people in different cultures experience very different emotions? Are you curious about how children learn about culture and whether in fact children also help create culture? These are the sorts of questions that students affiliated with the Culture, Brain, and Development Program (CBD) think about every day. You can design a CBD project or a CBD internship and get CBD funding for some of your expenses.
CBD is funded by the Foundation for Psychocultural Research (FPR) and is organized by five great Hampshire faculty (they’re the “Steering Committee”) who will help you be all the CBD you can be! These faculty leaders bring exciting speakers to campus and help CBD students keep a CBD Student Group going. Go to a meeting and join the discussion, plan the next meeting, and you just might find some students who would like to work with you to host a CBD conference or workshop weekend or some other incredible CBD event on campus.
