Gender Socialization in South Asians | A Conversation with Clinical Psychologist Dr. Shanta Kanukollu

That Desi Spark (formerly The Woke Desi)

South Asian communities have a longstanding habit of celebrating boys' births, assigning responsibilities to people because of gender, and creating roles and expectations that can result in mental health struggles later in life. Dr. Shanta Kanokollu joins TDS to discuss the impact of gender socialization, how it presents itself in the ways people cope, how to undo some of the damage, and what we, collectively, need to work on.
