Neuromyths: Is wat we weten over de neurowetenschap van DEI & IC feit of fictie? Lopen we vooruit op de tijd?
The advance of neuroscience has shed new light on our understanding of how the brain works. In the field of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as well as Interculturalism, we increasingly see the vocabularies and insights of neuroscience being applied. We have definitely gained new insights. However, we are reminded that this is only just the beginning of a new science. While neuroscience has become a buzzword, its popularity also perpetuates and creates incorrect understanding. This webinar challenges you to separate facts from fables, to use evidence of research, and to go beyond the comfort of popular media and convenient narratives.
