Why do new places and unfamiliar cultures feel so compelling, and what actually happens to us psychologically when we step into a different social world? This talk uses social and cross-cultural psychology to explore how travel reshapes the way we think, connect, and make meaning. Through research and real-world examples, we’ll look at how encountering different norms, traditions, and perspectives can challenge assumptions, build empathy, and offer powerful insights we can bring back into our classrooms.
Presented by Psychology Associate Professor Cassandra Zamorález
