The Culture, Life Course, and
Mental
Health Workshop
This workshop builds upon and contributes to the reemergence of
"cultural psychology" as the comparative study of the way culture and
psyche are constitutive of one another. It is specifically concerned with the
ways in which the person and her or his mental well-being are defined and
developed in diverse environmental and sociocultural contexts. Presentations by
graduate students, faculty, and occasional outside speakers from anthropology,
psychology, and allied fields will focus on diverse topics in mental health
behavior research, including the cultural constitution of disease, the temporal
patterning of health-related processes within a life-span perspective, and
optimal experience. They also may address positive psychological processes such
as enjoyment, creativity, and wisdom. The workshop encourages participation
from faculty and students in all fields.
