A lecture from the University of Zurich exploring how emotions are shaped by culture and social interaction. Prof. Dr. Batja Mesquita from Leuven presents research showing that emotions are learnt and co-constructed through cultural values and everyday social practices, rather than being universal responses. She argues that recognising emotions as fundamentally connected to our cultural contexts can improve relationships in multicultural communities. The event is in English.
