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

1/26/2024
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.
