Hampshire College

The School of Cognitive Science is associated with the following programs:

Culture, Brain and Development Program: The Program in Culture, Brain and Development (CBD) at Hampshire College explores the frontiers of culture, psychology, neuroscience, and biology to foster innovative learning and research into questions about the relationships among culture, environment, biology, and brain/mind that reach across traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Critical Studies of Childhood, Youth, and Learning Program:  Promotes critical thinking that entails examining childhood, child development, process of human learning, and educational theory and practice in the context of larger social structures, cultural and historical processes, and political economy. 

The Hampshire College Lecture Series on Science & Religion:  The theme for 2007-2008 is A History of Conflict and Cooperation.  Last year Hampshire College hosted a series of lectures on Science and Religion. We continue our series this year, exploring the ongoing dialogue between these influential ways of looking at the world. We invite you to join us for continued discussion in the 2007-2008 school year and beyond.
