Oct. 14 - Psychologist Cordelia Fine Challenges Gender Essentialism At SFI Event

Conventional wisdom has it that boys are boys and girls are girls because of the ways their brains work.  In other words, they are hard-wired to behave in certain gender-specific ways, and their talents as well as their shortcomings are built in from birth.  Psychologist and author Cordelia Fine will challenge that conventional wisdom at a Santa Fe Institute Community Lecturetonight at 7:30 at the James A. Little Theater.  Alan Dee spoke with her to get a preview of the presentation.
