Dr. Neil Aggarwal
Neil Aggarwal is a cultural psychiatrist.
He is an Assistant Professor at Columbia University, member of the university’s Committee on Global Thought, and Fellow with the Truman National Security Project.

“Violence is an expression of anger. And that differs per culture.”
His tips to become more culturally competent is:
- Allow yourself to have emotions about the other culture.
- Try not to say what comes to mind straight away. Give it some time. Only then respond.
- Allow yourself to be curious. You will learn something new.
