Why is it mostly women join book clubs?
Of New Zealand's over 1,300 registered book clubs, fewer than 2% are attended exclusively by men.
In How Stories Change Us Professor of Psychology at the University of Otago Elaine Reese explores the intersection of psychology and literacy, interested in how reading and stories benefit us, why girls are more likely to respond to them than boys and how that can change.
Professor Reese also co-leads the Kia Tīmata Pai (To Start Well) initiative, a national intervention trial with BestStart early childhood centres and spoke to Susie.
