Talk #6: Open Dialogue: Time Across Cultures

Time: Apr 28, 2020 04:00 PM Copenhagen

During this dialogue between Evgeny Osin, PhD, James M. Jones, PhD and Anna Sircova, PhD we will talk about:
– various experiences connected to time in various cultural contexts
– studies by Robert Levine on pace of life
– time perspective profiles across different cultures, and
– about whether culture is a guide for behavior which in turn affects attitudes about time, OR, if attitudes about time drive behavior and this affects culture?

James M. Jones, PhD – Trustees’ Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Africana Studies and director of the Center for the Study of Diversity at the University of Delaware, USA
