Rewired is a podcast about adolescence and the social worlds that produce it - the worlds we're handed before we know to question them. Through sociology and psychology, each episode turns around a set of questions: how we form identities, where our beliefs come from, why we want what we want, and who decides what's normal. Interested in the questions beneath the questions. Hosted by Khadija Farrash.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1!
When I introduced the new route Rewired is taking as an exploration of young minds and the "systems that shape them", I knew it would be important to start with the very label placed upon us the moment we reach a certain threshold.
This episode breaks down the origins of the "Teenager" - a term more artificial than you might think!

[UPDATE]
Welcome or welcome back to Rewired!
Today's episode is something quite different from the usual. Here, I introduce a few intended changes and developments for the future of the podcast! As I near university, I have started reflecting upon my interests and academic goals, exploring the field of Sociology. This is pushed me to broaden my scope interest-wise, which has of course influenced the future of Rewired.
Listen on to find out what changes have been made :)
Let me know your thoughts!

Academic Catch-Up: Researching Theory of Mind @ Cambridge University
This summer, I spent two weeks at Cambridge digging into that question through a psychology project on Theory of Mind, which is our ability to recognize that other people think, feel, and believe differently from us.
In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned: the history of Theory of Mind, why it’s been misunderstood in autism research, how culture changes the way it develops, and what my biggest takeaways were. A more personal, behind-the-scenes episode!
