In December, Dr. Emily Foster-Hanson helped us understand the way we reason about the world - sorting categories and representing them through our mental concepts. We took a dive into how those concepts shape our assumptions, stereotypes, and inform future learning - and the ways in which language influences what concepts we form.

Dr. Foster-Hanson is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Swarthmore College. You can follower her work at https://www.fosterhanson.com/.
