The HSE Moscow Centre for Cultural Sociology carries out theoretical and empirical investigations of culture and its paramount role within contemporary societies. Our primary interest concerns social inequalities and the various ways in which culture informs individuals' identities, perceptions, rationales, actions, preferences, aspirations and decision-making patterns.

On Dec. 14, 2021, the centre had a live discussion with Professor Ignatow, discussing his publication (2021) "The microbiome-gut-brain and social behavior", in The Journal of Social Behaviour.

You can watch the stream on Youtube, titled Gabe Ignatow: «Culture and the Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis»
