Culture Clashes

Hazel Rose Markus & Alana Conner on clashes between independence and interdependence and how to harness them for good.

[Alana Conner @alacon]

Anything other than guilty would have been a shocking national failure. Yet we are relieved not to have tripped over this low bar. Now let's set more ambitious racial justice goals than convicting a cop who murdered an unarmed man on tape for almost 10 minutes in broad daylight.

[Alana Conner @alacon]

I have a cultural psychology joke, but the punchline depends on the context.

Today America launched a rocket ship straight out of its own broken heart. Though I love science, and especially the quest for space, I wish I were witnessing the launch of a reparations program, rather than a giant burning tube full of white men.

If churches are essentials businesses, they should probably start paying some essential taxes.

[Alana Conner @alacon]

I am so intrigued....

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

The thesis that viewing others as objects or animals enables our very worst conduct would seem to explain a great deal. Yet there’s reason to think that it’s almost the opposite of the truth.https://t.co/mkxUWpBOaN

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor onboard?

Mom: Aren't you a doctor?

Me: Not THAT kind. I'm a cultural scientist.

Flight attendant [frantic]: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW CULTURES AND MINDS MAKE EACH OTHER UP?!

Me: Quick! Gimme your copy of "Clash!"

Mom: That's my girl.

Blown away all over again by @elipariser 's wise ideas for building better public spaces on social media. My fave: up-selling the head-smack emoji.

Prepping to speak at this exciting SheHeroes event this afternoon in Palo Alto. 2-4. Come help inspire the next generation of women leaders! https://t.co/Trdj5A2NGG

But ain't it human nature to nurture?

[Lera Boroditsky @leraboroditsky]

Maybe because some of the most interesting Psychology & Cog Sci is about nurture? 😉

Kidding.
But also kinda not kidding.

A titan of equitable healthcare has left too soon. Hazel and I had the pleasure of meeting KP CEO Tyson when we presented Clash! to #KaiserPermanente leadership. His persona and policies celebrated compassion—a value that we hope KP will keep embracing. https://t.co/yReLrXF3tN

Jazzed to discuss "The Ethics of Living Online" with multi-many-things artist @2Fikornot2fik tomorrow night at @CarletonCollege. But first, this flight. https://t.co/RY44ZIgqjI

Loving @ruthwhippman 's call for men to be more apologetic and interdependent, rather than the usual insistence that women be more independent. @nytimes #cultureclashes

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

"The assumption that assertiveness is a more valuable trait than say, deference, is itself the product of a ubiquitous and corrosive gender hierarchy," @ruthwhippman writes https://t.co/gU0bFy83TW
