Cultural Psychology of the Mind with Dr. Vivian Dzokoto

In this episode, hosts Richard Grove and James Riley meet
with Dr. Vivian Dzokoto, a Cultural Psychologist
at Virginia Commonwealth University in the United States, to
discuss her work on the cultural differences in how people think
about "the mind." Dr. Dzokoto has published research on a wide
range of topics. However, one of the key characteristics of her
research is the examination of culture and religion. Much of her
research focuses on people from West African countries, such as
Ghana. In this episode, Dr. Vivian Dzokoto chats with Richard and
James about her research on emotions and Ghanaian understandings
of the mind based on an analysis of Akan proverbs.
