## Shinobu Kitayama

Robert B. Zajonc Collegiate Professor of Psychology, University of Michigan

Kitayama will draw on three decades of empirical research in cultural psychology and neuroscience to write a book that argues that the human mind is shaped and transformed by social and cultural contexts, rather than biology. He will explore how different socio-cultural environments influence the relationship between peoples’ subjective, psychological health and their objective, biological health.
