Unravelling Bias with Dr Christia Spears Brown

Christia Spears Brown is an author, researcher, and professor of Developmental Psychology. Her book 'Parenting Beyond Pink and Blue' was incredibly eye opening for me early in my parenting journey. Dr Brown goes through the research around gender differences in kids and concludes that there is very little actual differences between boys and girls, despite society telling us there is.

Now Dr Brown is releasing a new book, Unravelling Bias: How Prejudice Has Shaped Children for Generations and Why It's Time to Break the Cycle. Expanding past gender, Dr Brown explores biases around race, immigration, LGBTQ rights, and more.

Needless to say, this was a fantastic conversation and one I feel is really important for parents to have. We discussed gender biases, trans rights, how immigration policies affect kids, and more.
