In this episode, Dr Pragya Agarwal explores what neuroscience says about men's and women's brains, and how we've had it all wrong for so long.

In this thoughtful episode, she brings about theories and research from cognitive psychology and neuroscience to introduce you to NEUROSEXISM and how brain science has been used to create and perpetuate the battle of the sexes.

Pragya also introduces the concepts of biodeterminism and neuroplasticity to prove why it is so important to bring up our children in the most gender-neutral way possible.

The very concept of a “male” and “female” brain is flawed. And, so it is time to think in a completely fresh way at what gender really means.

This is a really deep dive into why we still do not see more women in STEM and why this might be something to do with how we have thought about nature and brains for so long.

There are some reading recommendations for you and a code to join Pragya's Raising Equals: Feminist Parenting course

The course starts on 3rd June and you can find more information and join it HERE with an exclusive code FEMPARENTS.
