About this listen

What makes someone a good source to learn from?

Melissa Koenig explains how we learn from others: from the strategies we use to the biases we lean on when making epistemic decisions. We chat about the emergence of racial and gender biases and how we often seek information from sources that we identify with, covering the dynamics of of social identities and justice. And we end with chatting about the role of science in society and the importance of not separating work and activism.

Melissa Koenig is a professor at the Institute of Child Development https://icd.umn.edu/melissa-koenig

This is the first time trying out recording on the road, sorry for the clumsiness of the audio and video but learned a few good things for next time!
