Cross-cultural researcher Geert Hofstede famously said “Culture does not exist”. He saw culture is an abstraction—a statistical construct to label group tendencies. In this episode, Joseph Shaules and Ishita Ray contrast this view with the many ways in which culture is embodied with us. We learn about embodied cognition and hear stories about our deeply cultural nature from Sanne Bosma, Emre Seven, Albert Mhangami, Hashini Madarasinge and Yuto Aki.
