Forum and Lecture Series
The Center for Culture, Brain, & Development offers a variety of opportunities for trainees, faculty, and affiliates to hear about current research being conducted by researchers at UCLA and beyond, as well as opportunities to present their own work and receive feedback from their peers.
Lecture Series
The Lecture Series presents three lectures each year by important researchers in culture, brain, and development from the United States and around the world. Each year, one of the three lectures will be dedicated to a current topical focus, emphasizing how this focus intersects with the theme of Culture, Brain, and Development.
