'Gender' and 'Global Violence'

Kathryn interview Associate Professor at Temple University Heath Fogg Davis, author of “Beyond Trans: Does Gender Matter?” Whether on birth certificates or bathroom doors, why do we need to mark people and places with sex categories? Heath Fogg Davis, himself a transgender man, explores the underlying gender-enforcing policies and customs in American life that have led to transgender bathroom bills, college admissions controversies, and more. Kathryn also interviews Steven Pinker PhD, TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World Today. Pinker is author of “Better Angels of our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined”. Pinker draws from psychology, history, brain science, war studies, game theory, and popular culture to explore where violence comes from, why it has been so common over the course of history, and how we have been slowly bringing it under control. He is a New York Times bestselling author and was named “Humanist of the Year” in 2006.
