Episode 170: A Smiling Racism: Reflections on Racism In Canada

Canadian two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Donovan Bailey who was once hailed as the fastest man in the world said, in an interview with CTV news in 2020: "in Canada, it's racism with a smile" alluding to how racial inequity is masked by Canada's reputation of being the nicest people in the world. In Episode 170, Ben sits down with behavior analyst Danni Reid, his guest from the first episode of the Behaviour Speak Podcast who in 2020 shared her experience of being the only Black behavior analyst in British Columbia. Danni is joined by two other Black behavior analysts, Juliet Musonge and Michelle Upshaw who also thought they were the only Black behavior analysts in BC. Danni, Juliet, and Mish reflect on their experiences with racial inequality in Canada and how things have changed (and haven't changed) over the past four years.

Episode 168: Tending the Garden: An Intimate Conversation with Dr. Trina Spencer

In Episode 168, Ben chats with Dr. Trina Spencer, the first female Director of the Juniper Garden's Children Centre, a part of the KU Life Span Institute, originally founded in the mid-1960s when citizens of Northeast Kansas City, Kansas joined with faculty from the University of Kansas to address concerns about the development and education of children in their low-income, inner-city community. Since its inception, Juniper Gardens has developed and validated meaningful solutions to major community concerns identified by those directly affected - the community residents themselves. The center also provides opportunities for KU faculty and students to learn from the wisdom and life experiences of families from diverse backgrounds. In this conversation, Dr. Spencer bares her soul as she shares her journey of living a sheltered life in a conservative religious family, eventually raising a wonderful transgendered child, finding herself in Africa, and the many life lessons she had along the way.

Episode 166: A Critical Friends Conversation on Harassment In The Field of Applied Behavior Analysis

In Episode 166, Ben chats with Dr. Lauryn Toby, Erica Ranade, and Dr Kristyn Peterson. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including sexual harassment in conference, workplace, and academic settings. The content may be distressing to some listeners. If you find these topics triggering, please take care while listening or consider skipping this episode. Remember, if you or someone you know is affected by sexual harassment, support and resources are available. In Canada you can call the Sexual Violence Helpline: 1 888-933 9007 https://sexualviolencehelpline.ca/getting-help/sexual-violence-helpline/ In the USA you can call The National Sexual Assualt Telephone Hotline 1 800 656 HOPE (4674) The original purpose of "Me Too" as used by Tarana Burke in 2006 was to empower women through empathy, especially young and vulnerable women. In October 2017, American actress, Alyssa Milano encouraged using the phrase as a hashtag to help reveal the extent of problems with sexual harassment and assault by showing how many people have experienced these events themselves. It therefore encourages women to speak up about their abuses, knowing that they are not alone. The movement spread beyond Hollywood calling out perpetrators in the music industry, sciences, academia, politics and even students in K-12 schools. So-called "whisper networks" have also formed where private lists of "people to avoid "are shared unofficially in nearly every major institution or industry where sexual harassment is common due to power imbalances, including government, media, news, and academia. These lists have the stated purpose of warning other workers in the industry and are shared from person to person, on forums, in private social media groups, and via spreadsheets. (From: Wikipedia contributors. (2024, June 27). MeToo movement. In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.

Episode 162: Decolonization of the Mind with Dr. Michael Yellow Bird

Episode 161 is a humbling, wonderful conversation with Dr. Michael Yellow Bird. Dr. Yellow Bird works with Tribal and Indigenous Peoples to bring mindfulness and neurodecolonization approaches to these communities for the purposes of healing and improving wellness. He uses neuroscience research to examine how mindfulness approaches and traditional Indigenous contemplative practices can train the mind and positively change the structure and function of the brain. He also studies how experiences and perceptions change the brain (neuroplasticity); shape our DNA and affect the expression of our genes; activate different brain regions, change our brain waves, shape specialized brain cells such as mirror neurons; and alter our neurotransmitters and modulators. Dr. Yellow Bird uses his work as a means of translating the neuroscience of mindfulness and neurodecolonization to Tribal and Indigenous communities so they can understand why and how mindfulness and Indigenous contemplative practices work.

Episode 160: Cultivating Culturally Safe Care for Indigenous Peoples with Kim Trottier

Episode 160 features a conversation with Kim Trottier, founder of Culturally Committed. The purpose of Culturally Committed is threefold: first, it creates a pathway for client feedback, so providers can learn what Indigenous Peoples want and need to create trusting relationships. Second, it provides a list of providers who are demonstrating a desire to offer culturally safe services, so clients can choose offices where they know cultural safety is a priority. Finally, they offer ongoing learning opportunities, facilitated by mentors, Elders, and experts in the field of cultural safety and humility, with the intention of supporting providers in expanding their knowledge around cultural practices, barriers to care, and to educate on what safe care looks and feels like to Indigenous Peoples Continuing Education Credits (https://www.cbiconsultants.com/shop) BACB: 1.5 Learning IBAO: 1.5 Cultural QABA: 1.5 DEI Contact: https://www.culturallycommitted.com/ Links: First Nations Health Authority https://www.fnha.ca/ Len Pierre Consulting https://www.lenpierreconsulting.com/ Jessica Barudin https://www.jessicabarudin.com/ Behaviour Speak Podcast Episodes Referenced https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-130-the-tonowanda-seneca-behavior-technician-with-jordyn-burleson-rbt/ Links: DMV Association of Black Behavior Analysts (DMV ABBA) https://www.dmvabba.org/ Black Men in Behavior Analysis https://bmbanetwork.org/ Black Applied Behavior Analysts https://babainfo.org/ Missouri Black Behavior Analysis Community (MOBBAC) https://www.mobbac.org/ TAP: The ABA Pathfinders https://www.mobbac.org/tap-the-aba-pathfinders Black Women in Behavior Analysis (BWIBAAD) https://bwibaad.org/ ABA Verzus Block Party https://www.linkedin.com/company/abaverzus-block-party/ Behaviour Speak Podcast Episodes Referenced: Black Men in Behavior Analysis with Jeron Trotman https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode79-black-men-in-behavior-analysis-with-jeron-trotman/ The Missouri Black Behavior Analysis Community with Kelly Baird https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-86-the-missouri-black-behavior-analysis-community-mobbac-with-kelly-baird-ma-bcba-cctsi/ Behaviour Analysis in Ghana and Nigeria with Josephine Akure and Joy Oviojie https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-91-behaviour-analysis-in-ghana-and-nigeria-with-josephine-akure-and-joy-oviojie/ Culturally Responsive Screening Tools for Autism and/or Intellectual Disabilities in Nigeria with Dr. Eziafakaku Nwokolo https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-120-culturally-responsive-screening-tools-for-autism-andor-intellectual-disabilities-in-nigeria-with-dr-eziafakaku-nwokolo/ Artificial Intelligence and Behaviour Analysis with Dr. Marc Lanovaz https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-8-artificial-intelligence-and-behaviour-analysis-with-marc-lanovaz-phd-bcba-d/ Black Liberation Psychology with Dr. Evan Auguste https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-98-black-liberation-psychology-a-conversation-with-dr-evan-auguste/

Among other things, these incidents exposed how far BABA had drifted from its founding purpose: the uplift of the entire Black community in the behavior analytic space. In this episode, Denisha and Cammie outline the history of BABA from its beginnings and their path toward transformative healing. As well they share exciting news about their upcoming mini-conference, BLACK CON!

Episode 148: Behaviour Analysis in First Nation Communities of Australia

In Episode 148, Ben chats with Deb Fernando, who is quite possibly the only Indigenous behaviour analyst in all of Australia. Deb is a proud Bigambul, Gomeroi woman with strong connections to far northwest NSW within the Gamilaraay language nation. She has 30 years’ experience working with First Nations communities throughout Australia, including urban, rural, and remote locations. Deb started her career as a chef, then worked in government organisation troubleshooting major problems in servicing First Nations people in remote communities. She then went on to work with the University of South Australia where her team of researchers received the Vice Chancellors award for excellence in engaging in communities. Moving from SA back to New South Wales she began working with the SAX institute as the Study manager to progress their First Nations child health research project in urban and rural children's health. Within a short time, they established the project in five major Aboriginal Medical services, which identified the gaps in services to First Nations children within these areas. One highlight was establishing ongoing specialized services such as hearing and speech therapy for First Nations families. At the age of 50 Deb embarked on my academic career completing my BA and Honors in psychological science at Southern Cross University, continuing her studies in 2020 she completed a Master's in Education in Applied Behavioural Analysis at Monash University. Whilst studying she started to work as a positive behavioural therapist practitioner with The Center for Positive Behavioural support where she held a position as a Behavioural support practitioner. Over the years Deb has been looking and searching for the most appropriate services for First Nations peoples to assist in closing the gap between First Nations people and Non-First Nations peoples. Deb has a passion for applied behaviour analysis and therapies that take a holistic approach to addressing the needs of First Nations families. Due to the impacts of cultural loading, she received over her working career she ended her journey of working for others and started her own business “FeatherWay Road”. Here Deb collaborates with families to establish an environment where everyone feels included, supported, and empowered. Working with neurodiverse children, she embraces their unique strengths, their culture, and challenges to cultivate an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

Episode 136 From Bias to Balance: Antiracism in Behavior Analysis with Sonia Levy, Ph.D., BCBA

In Episode 136 Ben talks with Dr. Sonia Levy, A Black, Jewish behaviour analyst and lead author on a seminal article in behaviour analysis entitled: A Look In The Mirror: How the Field of Behavior Analysis Can Become Antiracist. This article was written not long after the brutal murder of George Floyd by police in 2020 and the beginning of a new social justice movement that captured the minds and hearts of people all over the world. Many behavior analysts, behavior analytic companies, overarching associations, and certification boards put out statements condemning racism and formed committees and task forces committed to combating racism in the field of behaviour analysis. It's been almost four years since the murder of George Floyd and this conversation serves as a check-in to see how far this field has come.
