Save as calendar entryWe kindly ask for registration by February 2nd, 2025 through our online form
With the 10th anniversary of the Leibniz ScienceCampus Primate Cognition, the runtime of this network and its funding are coming to an end. We would like to take this opportunity to look back at ten eventful years and celebrate our achievements with current and former members, colleagues and friends. Asifa Majid from the University of Oxford will be our key note speaker, and we are eager to hear her perspectives on primate cognition.
Program
Stefan Treue (Director of the German Primate Center) – Welcome
Julia Fischer (Speaker of the ScienceCampus) – Reflections on 10 years of the Leibniz ScienceCampus
Asifa Majid (Oxford) – Keynote Lecture “Socially Grounded Perception”
Reception
Socially grounded perception
Asifa Majid (University of Oxford)
Language mediates human experience and sensory language in particular proves to be an interesting nexus for examining the interplay of biology and culture. Cross-cultural studies of sensory language reveal that cultural practices and local environments influence perceptual frameworks, but in different ways across sensory modalities. These findings challenge universalist assumptions about perception, underscoring the role of language in grounding sensory experience within distinct social realities.
Referent
Stefan Treue, Julia Fischer, Asifa Majid
