The Gendered Brain - Seminario con Gina Rippon

Gina Rippon, Aston Brain Centre, School of Life and Health Sciences, Aston University, Birmingham.

Introduce Maria Laura Di Tommaso, Università di Torino.

Discussant: Maria Claudia Vigliani, Università di Torino.

“Despite 17th century assertions that ‘the mind has no sex’, neuroscience research in subsequent centuries (including the 21st) has appeared to focus on finding confirmatory evidence of the “essential” difference between men’s and women’s brains.

As covered in my book, The Gendered Brain, explanations of these gaps encapsulate almost every aspect of wider arguments about the origin of sex/gender differences”.

Aula E5 - Campus Luigi Einaudi - Lungo Dora Siena 100, Torino

Il seminario sarà in lingua inglese ed è parte del Laboratorio di Studi di Genere 2018/2019. L’ingresso è libero e aperto a tutti/e.
