The cultural origins and futures of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Professor Roy Richard Grinker

In this lecture, based on research in South Korea, India, South Africa, and among Korean-American and African-American communities in the United States, anthropologist Roy R. Grinker will address three questions relevant to research on Autism Spectrum Disorder: 1) What does it mean to say that a phenomenon is “cultural?” 2) What are the cross-cultural commonalities and differences in how autism is defined and treated? 3) What kinds of cross-cultural research can have an impact on early detection and intervention? He will also discuss science as a cultural formation that promotes and constrains scientific and popular definitions of ASD, epidemiological research on ASD, and the social movement to refigure autism as ability instead of disability.
