In this episode, we welcome Howard Stevenson, Constance Clayton Professor of Urban Education at the University of Pennsylvania. We discuss Professor Stevenson’s family history and connection to the Philadelphia community; gender roles and subverting them; men’s friendships; the PLAAY Project; the importance of emotional regulation; and the wisdom of an African proverb about the lion’s story.

You can see more of Dr. Stevenson’s work in this TED Talk.
