Power affects your life 24/7, impacting every action, conversation - and even your thoughts.

Power affects your life 24/7, impacting every action, conversation - and even your thoughts.Suzanne Alleyne is a Cultural Thinker and created the project “Neurology of Power&quot; which asks where power resides in our brains and bodies. What can science tell us about women and power - and how does knowing that help us understand who we are and the society that we live in?We all have power (even if it doesn’t feel like it!) but in different measures. Structures within our personal relationships, our societies and the world will affect how powerful you feel at any given moment. Join us for a deep dive with Suzanne Alleyne, who will be joined by writer, speaker and consultant Arwa Mahdawi; Virginia Valian, Professor of Psychology and Linguistics at the City University of New York; and Dr Mario Weick, Professor of Social Psychology at Durham University.We will be talking about our personal and professional experiences with power, as well as unpicking what science knows and doesn&#x27;t know - with a chance to ask questions at the end.This event will be BSL interpreted and live captioned, and take place as a Zoom Webinar.
