Siobhán shares stories about big ideas and everyday awesomeness. Her current research focuses on the effects of stress, trauma, fear and institutionalized oppression (sexism, racism, ableism, LGBTQIA* phobia) on the brain, productivity, and innovation culture. She received a BA in Psychology from Boston College, and has conducted research for Harvard Medical School and Harvard Laboratory for Developmental Studies, with research published in Brain & Cognition and Neuroreport. She is currently a fellow at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. She is always looking for the snack table.
This is a story about cubes, people, and snacks. Together we will explore what these deceptively simple words can teach us about the fundamentals of stereotype threat, institutional oppression, and the internalization of fear and shame. How do we construct our knowledge of others? Where does such knowing originate? Will there be cupcakes at our liberation celebration party? All this (and more) will be discussed.
