About Us
Gustav Steinhardt is a Lecturer at UC Berkeley, where he teaches courses on behavioral science, biological anthropology, and the human brain. His extensive teaching history includes designing and leading Diversities of the Human Brain, the first combined neuroscience and neurodiversity studies course in the UC system.
Elizabeth Cobb is a neurodivergent parent educator and advocate. Her career has been a study of how people inhabit systems—from studying cultural anthropology and architecture at Princeton and University College London, to helping launch a startup acquired by Oracle, to managing editorial projects for the global design firm Gensler. She now brings this integrative approach to neurodiversity, helping parents and educators connect neuroscience and anthropology to their everyday experiences.
Our mission is to cultivate understanding of neurodivergence by pairing concepts from neuroscience and cultural anthropology.
“Neurodivergent experiences are often labeled symptoms, not perceived as acts of communication.”
— Elizabeth, founder Built Curious
