Subject: [POST@mnfa.uib.no] Symposium on Gender Differences in Cognitive Abilities: 10th June, Egget 

Dear all,

Women and men show similar behavior, attitudes and cognitive skills. Yet, in a few areas marked gender differences exist, for example, with respect to what jobs men and women choose. Gender differences have enormous political and societal relevance and their origins are often subject to heated nature versus nurture debates.

The Department of Biological and Medical Psychology is arranging a symposium that specifically addresses gender differences in cognitive abilities. Four international, leading experts will discuss the following questions: (a) which cognitive abilities yield gender differences (and which do not)? (b) How do nature and nurture interact to give rise to those gender differences? (c) What are the societal consequences?

TIME: 10th June 2015, 9:00-16:00
PLACE: Studentsenteret, Auditorium (Egget)

We would be most delighted to welcome you!

Marco Hirnstein
