FPR Workshops and Conferences

The FPR periodically holds informal workshops with cross-cutting themes in order to share laboratory findings, clinical and fieldwork observations and perspectives, and fresh insights that may be of cross-disciplinary interest. Attendees at these gatherings include FPR board members and staff, UCLA faculty, and leading researchers and scholars in the neurosciences, psychology, psychiatry, anthropology, history, epidemiology, philosophe, public policy, and related fields. Most of these workshops also involve planning for FPR’s series of international, interdisciplinary conferences, which focus on brain, mind, and culture interactions. The workshops and conferences are listed below in chronological order with links to individual summaries.
