    S 2 Ep. 7 Nature, Nurture, and Nuance: Relationship Dynamics Across the Lifespan with Heather Von Bank

    To be human is to be constantly evolving: our personalities, our relationships, and the paradigm through which we view the world. Alongside Dr. Heather Von Bank, Professor and Chair of the Department of Family Consumer Science at Minnesota State University, Mankato, we explore the nuances of lifespan development, the micro and macrosystems that affect family dynamics, and how systems of oppression change the way we perceive the world and our fellow humans around us. We also discuss the concept and importance of play, the focus of Dr. Von Bank's research and Tedx Talk, and how risky play supports the physical, mental, and social-emotional development of children and helps them make better decisions as adults.
