Katerina Pouilasi

Katerina Pouliasi holds a phd in ‘Culture, Self understanding and the bicultural mind’ (University of Utrecht).

 When individuals live actively with more than one culture they, partly unconsciously, partly deliberately, may change and acquire a ‘bi(multi)cultural mind’. Katerina has investigated how children and adults “manage” to produce spontaneous behavior that can, dependent on the situation, match the expectations of either culture. Her tailor-made surveys and workshops help participants be aware and navigate culture-driven differences in private and professional settings (For more info: www.in2cultures.nl).
