FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON COGNITION & CULTURE
http://www.cognitionandculture.com
to be held in conjunction with CogSci07
August 1, 2007
Nashville, TN
*******************************************************************
Even though explaining the mental foundations of culture and the cultural
foundations of mental life has always been one of the ultimate objectives
of the collective social sciences, there seemed little hope of developing
a natural science of culture until the recent interdisciplinary attempts
coined cognition and culture. What sets the new approach apart is its
focus on understanding the relationship between individual level cognition
and social processes rather than settling for explanations that appeal to
only one of these levels and allowing researchers from diverse traditional
disciplines to productively communicate with each other and make progress
on problems that transcend their disciplinary boundaries. Thus
anthropologists, religious studies experts, marketing researchers,
experimental psychologists, and computer scientists can work together to
identify the ecological, cognitive and ontological factors that are
critical to the spread of information and to identify the patterns of
complex dynamics between cognition and culture. This emerging field has a
number of international institutes, researchers, issues and methods but
lacks a forum where researchers from diverse traditional disciplines can
gather and discuss issues of common interest. Primary goal of this
workshop is to provide such a forum.
The one-day workshop held in conjunction with the 29th Annual Meeting of
the Cognitive Science Society will include presentation of invited papers
as well as reviewed submissions. All submissions will be reviewed by at
least two program committee members.
