Please visit Dr. Fausto-Sterling’s new YouTube channel, where she shares lectures and other videos that explore gender/sex by thinking in terms of dynamic development. Check out the latest episode: Gender/sex in a non-Binary World: a discussion on The Psychology Podcast with Scott Barry Kauffman.

Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling is Brown University Professor Emerita and fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She is a leading expert in biology and gender development. Using a groundbreaking new approach to understanding gender differences, Dr. Fausto-Sterling is shifting old assumptions about how humans develop particular traits. Dynamic systems theory permits one to understand how cultural difference becomes bodily difference. By applying a dynamic systems approach to the study of human development, her work exposes the flawed premise of the nature versus nurture debate.

Dr. Fausto-Sterling is available to discuss her new ideas on gender/sex and development formally, in a webinar format, or more informally in a zoom classroom setting. For availability and a copy of her contract, click here for contact information.
