Episode 11: Shane Hollander's Identity
About this episode
The episode explores Shane Hollander's identity through the lens of developmental psychology and ecological systems theory.
In this episode we chat with Dr. Tabitha Dell'Angelo, a professor of education with a focus on developmental psychology and the author of Why Heated Rivalry Captivates and What It Teaches Us About Identity , about Shane Hollander's identity. We ask: why he Shane the way he is . Using Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, we unpack how every layer of his life - family, hockey, media, culture, and time - shapes him, from the pressure of being a biracial, closeted athlete to the quiet safety of having someone who shares his secret. This episode helps us learn more about all of us: how we’re constantly being shaped, reshaped, and given chances to become something new, if we’re willing.
