As part of the Seminar Series organised by the Perception and Politics Lab (PnP Lab) of the Department of Psychology at Abdullah Gül University, we had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Dr. M. Ersin Kuşdil.
In this online seminar, Prof. Dr Kuşdil delivered a presentation entitled “Lives in the Aquarium: The Historicity of Social Behaviour and the Sediments of Capitalism.” The seminar explored how social behaviour is shaped by historical processes, emphasising the role of economic and cultural dynamics in the formation of individual and collective behavioural patterns. Particular attention was given to how capitalist social structures continue to influence contemporary social relations. The seminar concluded with an engaging discussion and a question-and-answer session, providing participants with an opportunity to exchange ideas on current theoretical debates in social psychology and their connections to broader social and historical processes.
As the AGU PnP Lab, we would like to thank Prof. Dr. M. Ersin Kuşdil for his valuable contributions and thought-provoking presentation.
