Do people touch a lot or hardly at all? Do you show guests the kitchen? Do you speak to the stranger sitting next to you? In this episode, Joseph Shaules and Liu Liu explore proxemics–the study of the human use of space. We learn about Edward Hall’s pioneering work in this area, and cultural differences in body language, physical space, and life spaces. Podcast team members share stories of navigating these differences, and explain that they reflect cultural patterns we are just now starting to understand.
