Welcome to the first Podcast discussion in the Socrates Cafe, hosted by our dearest friend Chiaki. First-timers and regulars to the Socrates cafe are welcome!
-Have you ever downplayed some aspect of your identity? Maybe you don't hide it, but you don't bring it up with certain people; either way, these subtle disguises can have powerful effects on how we view ourselves, according to legal scholar Kenji Yoshino. Podcast host Shankar Vedantam talks to Yoshino about what happens when we soften or edit our true selves. We will discuss the ideas of the podcast.
Please, listen to the whole episode before joining; it's available here for free.

Event Details
- There will be a summary of the episode and background of Kenji Yoshino to refresh our memory.
- Depending on the number of people attending, we will split into 2 or 3 groups, and exchange thoughts and ideas within and across the groups.
The aim is not to find the right answers, conclusions, or win an argument, but to discover different points of view and get to know people to enrich our lives 😊
