| Description: Though rarely seen as compatible behavior analysis and feminist theory, broadly defined, share some interesting conceptual and practical perspectives. For example, the feminist critique of traditional psychological science in many respects parallels the behavioral critique. Feminist psychology and behavior analysis also share some important assumptions about scientific knowledge and the process of knowledge making. Feminist psychologists have tackled many interesting domains in their research, but their research methodologies have often been limiting. This workshop will explore what a merger of feminist research interests and behavior analytic practices might look like. Specifically, we will consider how feminist enhanced behavior analysis might lead to stronger pedagogical and clinical practices. |
