Event overview
Join us to hear Goldsmith Psychology's Dr Manuel Anglada-Tort talk about his research expedition with the Tsimane in the Bolivian Amazon
This July, I spent a month in the Bolivian Amazon on a research expedition with the Tsimane, an Indigenous community with historically limited exposure to Western culture. We developed and ran several experiments exploring questions about the universality and diversity of aesthetics, music, and emotion. In this talk, I’ll share a personal account of this experience, including a short documentary of the trip and some of the things that surprised me the most.
Dr Manuel Anglada Tort is a Lecturer in Psychology and Director of the MSc in Music, Mind and Brain at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is interested in understanding the psychological and cultural foundations of music and art, and the role they play in society and culture. His research combines computational methods with innovative psychological experiments to study how such behaviours emerge through the interplay of human cognition, social interaction, and cultural transmission.
