EPISODE REFLECTION: Through the use of a powerful metaphor 'wallpaper,' the underpinning of Dr. Dasgupta’s work uses science to drive culture change and promote greater equality and justice in our communities. She takes us on a journey through the different types of 'wallpaper' - the physical, symbolic, representational, and social norms - that often go unnoticed but profoundly shape our experiences and opportunities.
