S5 Ep02: Your Mind on Origins of Social Bias
with Dr. Hyesung Grace Hwang

Listen now

How do babies learn to navigate diversity in their social worlds? Dr. Hyesung Grace Hwang shares her infant neuroscience (EEG) work showing that early “bias” might be less about emotions (like fear or disklike) and more about attention and information processing. We discuss how the environment, specifically neighborhood diversity shapes infants’ brain responses, and the changing cues kids use as they get older to reason about nationality.
