About

This edition of Science Café delves into the fascinating world of sociology, cultural studies, and (cultural) anthropology. We'll explore how taste—often seen as a personal preference—is deeply intertwined with social hierarchies, cultural values, and everyday decision-making across different societies and cultural settings. The discussion aims to uncover the mechanisms behind how taste is shaped and how it evolves over time. We’ll also look at how taste not only reflects social inequalities and cultural trends but actively contributes to shaping them.
