Episode Overview
- Dr. Tara White introduces 'dignity neuroscience' and its implications for human rights and policy
- The discussion explores the impact of autonomy on learning and the intersection of neuroscience and law
- Insights into the fundamental human rights to freedom from want and fear
- Dr. White's multidisciplinary approach sheds light on the interconnectedness of human dignity, neuroscience, and societal well-being
Understanding something about the neural circuits that support some capacity that we have, like learning or like agency, and that this neural circuitry from molecules to systems allows these capacities to emerge. I think that understanding something about that neurobiology doesn't mean that that capacity is biologically predetermined.
Ever thought about how neuroscience can influence human rights? In this episode of 'Lobes and Robes', Dr. Tara White takes us on a journey through the emerging field of 'dignity neuroscience'. Dr. White, a neuroscientist with a keen interest in psychology, discusses how our understanding of the brain can shape policies that promote human dignity and autonomy.
She introduces the term 'dignity neuroscience' to describe the link between scientific findings on human development and the principles of international human rights law. The conversation touches on various topics, from how autonomy impacts learning to the intersection of neuroscience and legal frameworks. Dr. White's insights offer a fresh perspective on how neural circuits support human agency and the broader implications for societal well-being.
If you're curious about how science can inform better policies and enhance human dignity, this episode is a must-listen.
