How to Talk to People Who Are Trying to Run You out of Town with Big Spears

Jacqueline Davis speaks at the Gates Internal Symposium on October 2016.
In her talk, Jacqueline discusses the process of organising and carrying out psychology research with remote tribes in the Peruvian Amazon and the Pacific Islands. During the process, she learned how to understand very different points of view after some community leaders were hostile as a result of previous bad experiences with foreigners, how to just relax and be flexible after being stranded in the jungle, how to enjoy the little things after taking part in a shamanic ceremony and evening dance rituals, and how important it is to give back.
