Perception and Deception: Understanding Misunderstandings Across Cultures
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Commonwealth Club of California
(see times)
Inspired by the West African Proverb, "The Stranger Sees Only What He Knows," Joe Lurie, Executive Director Emeritus of UC/Berkeley’s International House, shares a delicious feast of cross-cultural stories and misadventures that explore the deeper cultural messages that escape people who hear largely what they're used to hearing and see mostly what they're used to seeing. One reviewer of Joe's book observed, " Already I can hear the reader calling out to a friend across the room, 'Wait, you've got to hear this!'"
The Commonwealth Club of CA presents this program in partnership with NorCal Peace Corps Assn., UC/Berkeley’s International House, and the Osher Institute of Life-Long Learning .
Lurie’s book will be for sale for $10 and he will be available to autograph it after the program.
