Episode 269 - Systemic and Sustainable Changes Toward Equity w. Dr. Noor Syed

UPDATED: Following the release of the episode, we were all saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Elizabeth HughesFong, a pioneer in researching, publishing, and speaking on cultural humility in the field of behavior analysis. To celebrate and to honor her accomplishments, Dr. Noor Syed asked to record a special dedication for Dr. Hughes Fong to add to this episode. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Rob’s birthday than to be joined by special guest Dr. Noor Syed to discuss creating equitable practices. Well, what if those practices also were built in ways that led to sustainable, society-wide, paradigm-breaking, world disrupting changes? Dr. Syed might tell us to focus on taking one step at a time towards equity with some amazing action steps. So, listen to this episode, and we’ll start there. And, as a birthday gift for our listeners, an extra long show means extra CEs! This episode is available for 1.5 LEARNING CEUs.
