Are You Being 'Reasonable' -- or Just Privileged? | Dr. Rosalind Chow

What if what we call “reasonable” is just code for maintaining privilege? In this eye-opening episode, behavioral science expert Dr. Rosalind Chow breaks down how power, status, and group dynamics influence our perception of reason, objectivity, and fairness. We dive into social psychology research on dominance, DEI resistance, and why those in power often mistake their own norms for neutrality.

Learn how behavioral science can reveal the hidden assumptions that shape workplace dynamics, leadership decisions, and public discourse. Dr. Chow discusses the psychological barriers to true diversity, equity, and inclusion—explaining why marginalized voices are so often dismissed as “unreasonable,” even when they’re pointing out real systemic issues.

If you're a behavioral science practitioner, DEI strategist, leader, or curious thinker, this episode will challenge you to confront your own biases and rethink what fairness really means. Don’t miss this crucial conversation about social norms, cognitive blind spots, and the real cost of maintaining the status quo.
