How pervasive is anxiety in our modern societies, among individuals, and in communities? What accounts for the rapid increase in its prevalence? How should we think about anxiety, and what can we do about it? In Anxiety Culture: The New Global State of Human Affairs,Dr. John Allegrante of Teachers College, Columbia University, Raphaël Liogier, of the Institute for Advanced Studies (UM6P, Morocco) and other contributors contemplate the forces that increase anxiety in populations around the world and pervade global culture.


Join Asia Society Hong Kong Center to hear from Dr. Allegrante, Dr. Liogier, and Emily McCarren, Executive Head of School of Keystone Academy in Beijing, China, in conversation with Edith Shih, as they discuss anxiety as a global phenomenon, what they have learned while producing this book, how students are affected by anxiety, and what educational institutions are doing to adapt.
