S2E09: Your Mind on Hierarchy, with Dr. Sa-Kiera Hudson

Minds Matter by Beth Fisher and Ava Ma de Sousa

Episode notes

How do you feel about hierarchies? Dr. Sa-Kiera Hudson joins us to discuss how the answer may influence empathy and intergroup conflict. Support for hierarchies can lead not only to reduced empathy, but to increased counter-empathy for competitive groups. We further discuss what happens when hierarchies intersect and how psychology can study multiple identities (race, gender, sexual orientation) simultaneously.
