About the Conference
The “Advances in Comparative Culturology” conference invites leading international and local scholars to explore the most fundamental questions in cultural research:
- What is culture, and how do we conceptualize and measure it?
- Why does culture change, and what patterns does this change follow?
- How is culture as an ecological construct related to individuals’ psychology?
- What role does culture play in driving social change?
This two-day event brings together diverse perspectives from sociology, psychology, anthropology, business, government, and other related disciplines.

- Conceptualizing and measuring cultural differences
- Cultural change and its drivers
- Societal and psychological implications of cultural differences and cultural change
- Origins and patterns of cultural variation
- Interdisciplinary approaches to culture
- Methodological developments in cultural research
