    Teaching Culture General versus Culture Specific

    Iris Berdrow, Bentley University and Harry Lane, Northeaster University

    May 17, 2022, 12:00pm-1:00pm Noon US Eastern Time, 9:00-10:00am US Pacific Time; 6:00-7:00pm Central European Time

    Culture is a word that everyone has heard, probably used, and understands in some way.  The concept has been widely researched in many contexts, for many purposes.  We all have some sense of our "cultural heritage" and that other cultures are different.  There is a difference between understanding culture as a social construct and understanding the culture of a specific group of people.  These considerations are referred to as culture general and culture specific. This webinar will explain each, and provide a brief outline of the teaching tools for each.  The zoom link will be announced later.  For more information contact: Berdrow, Iris at: IBERDROW@bentley.edu.
