Description

Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, Nancy Duke Lewis Professor Emerita, Brown University, is a leading expert in biology and gender development that challenges entrenched scientific beliefs. Dr. Fausto-Sterling's current research on parent-infant interactions and the embodiment of gender demonstrates how cultural difference becomes bodily difference. A frequent commentator for media outlets such as The New York Times and PBS, her ambition is to restructure dichotomous conversations--inside the academy, in public discourse, and ultimately in the framing of social policy--in order to enable an understanding of the inseparability of nature/nurture.
