Dr. Yannis Toussulis reviews cultural psychology - what it is and how it plays out in everyday life - and presents ways of understanding it. He uses examples of how different waves of immigration to the U.S. affects life in this country and how unconscious assumptions play into daily interactions.



Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is the first non-American journalist to be awarded the prestigious Livingston Award and the youngest recipient of the One World Media broadcast journalist of the year award in the United Kingdom. In the last seven years she has produced and reported on 13 films for major networks in the United States and Britain.
