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 the first episode of this series we talk to Sophie Ganevitch. Sophie has worked for many years growing behaviour analysis in Ukraine. On February 23, 2022 she signed a memorandum of agreement with the International Behavior Analyst Organization working towards a credentialing program in Ukraine. The next day, Russia began its attack on the country. Now she is in the UK coordinating supports for Ukrainian refugees with children with autism and other disabilities and is seeking support from others around the world to do the same in their countries as over 3 million refugees have fled. Sophie shares this story and puts out a call for support which we hope our listeners will answer.
