In this probing conversation, Dr. Bryant Horowitz and author & educator Kryss Shane will explore how the 'unknown' causes fear response in the brain, how fear response can lead to harming others, the differences in race/gender/sexuality and how we can rewire to remove the fear response so we are, at worst, not threatening and at best more inclusive. As an Associate Professor at East Los Angeles College, Dr. Horowitz teaches coursework in Introductory Psychology, Biopsychology/ Behavioral Neuroscience, and Research Methods for Psychology and social sciences and Kryss Shane is the author of Creating an LGBT+ Inclusive Workplace: The Practical Resource Guide for Business Leaders.
