Episode 98 is an interview with Dr. Evan Auguste, an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Boston and a pre-licensed clinical psychologist at Ma’at Psychological Services. We delved into the concept of Black Liberation psychology, a crucial field aimed at addressing the mental health repercussions of structural anti-Blackness. Dr. Auguste's work focuses on developing community-based health interventions, like the Sawubona Healing Circles, that promote healing through an African-centered framework.  We also dive into the history and initiatives of the Association for Black Psychologists.

Episode 95 features a conversation with Claire Zuch, a graduate student in Dr. Jordan Bellisle's HUB lab whose work has been focused on the analysis of ableism and stigma against Autistic folks.  Relational Density Theory is a complex and fascinating concept and Claire does a wonderful job of explaining RDT to a novice like myself.  Claire notes that RDT is often easier to explain with a visual of something known as a geospace (see below).  Claire discusses her plans to continue this research in her doctoral program with Dr. Mark Dixon and the importance of compensating Autistic participants for their labour.

Episode 89 is special for me as I get to discuss my favourite thesis of all time written by Bukky Akinwale, a grad student at the University of North Texas. Bukky presented this work to a standing ovation at the 2022 Black Applied Behavior Analysts conference. In her thesis, she teaches two wonderful girls, Maliyha and Chevelle, to request, listen and recount stories from Ms. Alma Clark, a 94-year-old Elder and one of the last surviving residents of Quakertown. Quakertown was a thriving community that formerly enslaved people established in Denton, Texas after Juneteenth until 1921 when the White community voted to turn Quakertown into a municipal park.

 This conversation delves into the complexities of intimate partner violence (IPV), emphasizing the cyclical nature of abuse and the critical need for safety planning. The discussion highlights the unique challenges faced by victims, particularly those with immigration issues, and the importance of social support in navigating these situations. The role of functional communication in therapy for both victims and perpetrators is explored, along with the systemic gaps in resources for those seeking help. The conversation concludes with a focus on future initiatives aimed at improving support for survivors and addressing the needs of perpetrators to reduce recidivism.

ABAI Annual Convention Events:1. Business Meeting #120Evolution of Behavior Analysis: Update on EvoSci Special Interest Group (SIG) Establishment
Friday, May 26, 20237:00 – 8:00 PMConvention Center Mile High Ballroom 3AChair: Yukie Kurumiya (The Chicago School of Professional Psychology)Presenting Authors:This is an open meeting for anyone interested in the advancement and evolution of behavior analysis through the lenses of evolutionary science and cultural selection. This meeting will serve to update EvoSci SIG supporting members on our progress in establishing the SIG. We invite interested behavior analysts across related disciplines to share their aspirations on the evolution of our field.
2. Symposium #129Diversity submission From the Tyranny of the Few to Survival of All: Culturo-Behavior Science for All
Sunday, May 28, 20238:00 – 9:50 AMConvention Center Mile High Ballroom 2BArea: CSS/PCH; Domain: TranslationalChair: Nanni Presti (Kore University)Discussant: Anthony Biglan (Oregon Research Institute)CE Instructor: Anthony Biglan, Ph.D.Abstract:Periodically, social upheavals challenge well established cultural rules and practices. A sampling of current tensions includes what is observed between those who accept social stratification as inevitable and those who labor for social justice, between conservative, progressive, and libertarian agendas, between those who would grant remarkable power to businesses and those who would limit those powers in favor of public health and climate justice. Culturo-behavior scientists have advanced a number of strategies grounded in evolutionary, prevention, and behavior sciences, Skinner’s philosophy of science, and contemporary approaches to language and cognition. Advances in conceptual and empirical evidence for the planned use of interlocked behavior contingencies suggest that it is not too late to create a sustainable economy in which all humans matter, all voices are heard, and all can access basic goods and services. In this symposium, Giovambattista Presti, Francisco Perez, Thomas Szabo, Yukie Kurumiya, and Dennis Embry discuss these advances. At the end, Tony Biglan will provide commentary.
 
3. Panel #128Diversity submission Global Perspectives on the Need for Behavior-Based Cultural Evolution - Working Together
Sunday, May 28, 20234:00 – 4:50 PMHyatt Regency, Mineral Hall D-GArea: CSS/PCH; Domain: TranslationalCE Instructor: Henry S. Pennypacker, Ph.D.Chair: Francisco Ignacio Perez (University of Texas Health Science Center - Houston School of Public Health)Henry Pennypacker (University of Florida)Naoko Sugiyama (Seisa University)Neil Timothy Martin (Behavior Analyst Certification Board)Abstract:The panel discussion will encourage audience participation. Together, we will focus on how we can promote and cultivate prosocial behavior on a global scale as well as in our own communities. As John Lennon told us, “imagine all the people living life in peace.” Skinner (1973) educated us that the science of behavior plays a leading role in creating an environment where cultural evolutionary changes for the better can be selected. He urged us to act and apply our knowledge about human behavior to prevent a catastrophic future and secure a healthy world for those who follow us. To accomplish these objectives, the panel will address the need to conceptualize our mission and discuss the necessity for formal training in the cultural and evolutionary sciences so that behavior analysts can become proficient leaders that can educate their communities and promote the environment that will facilitate behavior change, such as increasing the frequency of prosocial behavior, that will be needed to live together in harmony, peace, and prosperity. This can be our gift to those who follow us!

In Episode 77, Ben chats with Dr. Nissa Intarachote Van Etten. Nissa has worked tirelessly in the area of culturally responsive compassionate care. We dig into popular early intervention skills assessments like the ABLLS and the AFLS in terms of how we can adapt these tools to meet the individual needs of families. Nissa offers a great selection of literature to support cultural diversity in behavior analysis and incorporate it into the assessment process.
