What happens in our brain when we 'pigeonhole' people? Why is it that even when we don't want to, we often still judge others based on gender or ethnicity? Does pigeonholing have a purpose? When does it become harmful and lead to discrimination? And what can we do about it? Come hear psychologist Gijs Bijlstra, alderman Cilia Daemen and night mayor Celia Okora talk about how pigeonholing works and how we should deal with it.
