Social neuroscience and the post-disciplinary turn

Andreas Roepstorff

Lecture by Professor Andreas Roepstorff, Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience and Department of Social Anthropology, Aarhus University Hospital.

In the aftermath of the Decade of the Brain, the advent of "social neuroscience" has become one of the most interesting scientific developments, both because of the questions explored and because of the disciplinary landscape that is being charted. In the talk, I will explore some of these ramifications and ask the question “whatever happened to the brain?”

About

Andreas Roepstorff is one of the leaders of neuroanthropology. He is Ph.D. and Professor at the Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience and Department of Social Anthropology, Aarhus University, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. As an anthropologist in neuroscience, Andreas tries to maintain a dual perspective. He studies the workings of the brain, particularly at the levels of consciousness, cognition and communication. He is equally interested in how brain imaging, as a field of knowledge production, relates to other scientific and public fields.
