ABOUT THIS EPISODE
From an African American who moved to Taiwan and felt more aware of her race to a man who found Animal Crossing to be the perfect world to test out his interest in gender fluidity, Paris asks where we see our race and our sexual identity differently when our surrounding demographics change.
Organisational psychologist Hajo Adam helps us to understand what impact our surroundings have on our decision making, creativity and identity.
If we change our surroundings, is this a quick fix to changing who we are?
