From birth, we’re taught to look at strangers, group them into gendered categories, and change our behavior accordingly. Every part of culture enforces this, until it manifests even in tiny actions such as deciding who gets out of an elevator first. But what has been learned can be unlearned. This presentation will show you how to begin the process of rewiring your brain to take an expansive view of the people around you. You’ll learn how to notice yourself making gendered assumptions, pause, and shift to a more inclusive approach—improving your client relations, your editing, and your everyday life.
