Manners are the starting point.

​

As sapiens, we readily acquire manners and adjust them to suit each power structure (culture club) in which we are a member.

​

In every social interaction, mannerly individuals interpret context, navigate power, and respond to what their environment affords: hence, "affordance" is a key word in socialization.

 

Dr. Minsos’ work focuses on a process of recognition—revealing how we continuously assess situations, make decisions, and engage with others through our intuitive understanding of how socialization works. Minsos shows how and why individuals herd into culture clubs.

​​

Her work is not about instruction, but awareness: recognizing what we (you and I) know, and why.
