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. It turns out that these subtle disguises can have powerful effects on how we view ourselves. This week, we bring you a favorite conversation with legal scholar Kenji Yoshino. He introduces us to the concept of "covering," and talks about what happens when we soften or edit our true selves. Then, we revisit our "Your Questions Answered" segment in which Kenji answers listener questions and comments about his work.
Another way that we hide who we are is by expressing views that we don't actually believe. In our latest YouTube video, we look at this phenomenon — known as preference falsification — and how it can affect our relationships. Check it out, and make sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of our future videos.
