Cultural Cognition Project At Yale Law School
Funded by governmental and private foundation grants, much of the work on cultural cognition has been performed by an interdisciplinary group of scholars affiliated with the Cultural Cognition Project . There are currently over a dozen project members, from a variety of universities. Two members of the project—Dan Kahan and Douglas Kysar—are Yale Law School faculty, although other members (such as Donald Braman of George Washington University Law School and Geoffrey Cohen of the University of Colorado) were previously affiliated with Yale Law School or Yale University.
