SUMMARY:"Change the Wallpaper" - Author Nilanjana Dasgupta in conversation with Carrie N. Baker
DESCRIPTION:Join social psychologist Nilanjana Dasgupta and scholar Carrie 
 N. Baker in conversation about Nilanjana's new book\, Change the Wallpaper: 
 Transforming Cultural Patterns to Build More Just Communities.\n\nAbout the 
 book: A social psychologist reveals how to nudge local cultures toward 
 positive structural change by moving people from individual action to 
 collective action. How can ordinary people fight for social justice? Can 
 individual actions change structural inequality?\n\nIn Change the 
 Wallpaper: Transforming Cultural Patterns to Build More Just Communities 
 (published January 7\, 2025) social psychologist Nilanjana Dasgupta offers 
 a science-driven approach to achieving social change\, arguing that small 
 changes to the “wallpaper”—the local cultures around us—are far 
 more effective in producing structural change locally than seeking change 
 through bias awareness training\, symbolic acts\, or relying solely on good 
 intentions.\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\n\n	Nilanjana Dasgupta is provost 
 professor of psychology and inaugural director of the Institute of 
 Diversity Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is the 
 author of many articles\; the winner of the Hidden Bias Research Prize from 
 the Kapor Foundation\; and the recipient of multiple U.S. government 
 research grants. Her work has been featured in the New York Times and other 
 major outlets. She lives in Northampton\, MA.\n	Carrie N. Baker\, J.D.\, 
 Ph.D.\, is the Bauman professor of American Studies and Chair of the 
 Program for the Study of Women\, Gender and Sexuality at Smith College. Her 
 research and teaching focus on gender\, law\, public policy\, and feminist 
 social movements. Baker has written five books\, including her recent open 
 access book\, Abortion Pills: U.S. History and Politics (Amherst College 
 Press). She is a regular writer and contributing editor at Ms. magazine and 
 has a monthly column in the Daily Hampshire Gazette.\n\n\nBooks will be 
 available to purchase at the event from Broadside Bookshop. \n\nThis event
