Our guest, professor of psychology and public affairs at Princeton University and a recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant, Dr. Elizabeth (Betsy) Levy Paluck, emphasizes the value of engaging with people around us in order to have a positive impact on the issues that affect us all. We also discuss the need to examine norms, how norms subconsciously filter how we interact with one another, as well as benefits of real-life conversations in shifting those norms. Join us as we delve into the power of human connection and the unwritten rules that shape us. ____ Links: \u201cThe effect of a supreme court decision regarding gay marriage on social norms and personal attitudes\u201d - https:\/\/spia.princeton.edu\/system\/files\/research\/documents\/Paluck.pdf  \u201cEngineering social change using social norms: Lessons from the study of collective action\u201d - https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S2352250X20301081  \u201cThe Supreme Court Overturned Roe.
