Summary

While behavior analysis has more recently begun digging into what meaningful social justice practices can and should be, the concept certainly isn’t new to other fields, and our special guest, Dr. Malika Pritchett, has the data to prove it. This week, Dr. Pritchett gives us a whirlwind tour of the development of social justice practices in research through the years to highlight science’s highly problematic journey to improve its understanding and appreciation of the rights of all (and to focus on what we can all do to keep this journey moving towards an equitable future).

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
