Episode 53: Cora goes toe-to-toe with Baroness Cass
Om den här podden
I am a transgender woman, an Educational Psychologist, and a scientist published many times over in the field of gender diversity thanks almost entirely to some truly outstanding trainees and colleagues.
On Classroom Psychology we take the questions asked by public figures, even those posed as confident declarations, and we look to the scientific literature to find answers.
Join me, and together we'll create a society where everyone can find a place to belong.
