  • Difficult Discussions #2 Toilet Training with Alexandra Vassar and Michael Crosby

    The purpose of Difficult Discussions is to bring together people with different perspectives and different identities to share their perspectives on a topic that is typically considered taboo to discuss, seen as controversial, and/or is well accepted but maybe should involve more critical analysis and discussion. The format for these events is as follows:

    1. None of the panelists will directly respond to anything the other panelists say except in Part 3.
    2. Part 1: Each person will briefly share any identities they are comfortable sharing and indicate why they wanted to discuss this topic
    3. Part 2: Each person will provide about a 5-10 minute explanation of their history and perspectives with the topic.
    4. Part 3: Each panelist will briefly reflect on 1 thing said by one of the panelist to share an a-ha moment or something they hadn’t considered before
    5. Part 4: Each panelist will share a closing thought about the topic. This might be an action item, a key point they want listeners to carry with them, etc.

      6. The views and opinions expressed in this Difficult Discussions video are those of each individual person and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any affiliated company or professional organization.  Thank you to everyone who is joining us live for this discussion.

We will do our best to monitor the chat and anyone who is engaging in a manner that is not respectful of the discussion, that does not demonstrate a commitment to listening to learn, sharing perspectives, and/or is focused on making people wrong will be removed from the chat.

      In this episode, we discuss the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates and the observations of Melody Sylvain, BCBA; Camille Morgan, BCBA; and Dr. Megan Miller, BCBA-D. Our special guests tie these observations back into their experiences within the field of behavior analysis and as it relates to being Black Women. We conclude this episode discussing why these different viewpoints exist and what we as behavior analysts can be doing to disrupt racism and promote an empathetic and compassionate society.
