Links to Series 2: Welcome to the Nerdiverse

Nerdiness is often misunderstood and underappreciated. We can do better.

We all know nerds. Some of us are nerds. Nerds are often known by stereotypes and tropes instead of reality. This series will move beyond the stereotypes and look into the specific qualities of nerdiness and what has led nerds to become a dominant force in modern culture. By the end, you’ll have a new perception of nerdiness and perhaps yourself.
