Ep 14: Sticks and Stones: The Intersection of Verbal Behavior and Immigration with AJ Rodrigue*

Beautiful Humans: The Social ChangeCast

This episode is one for the books! We are joined by Behavior Analyst, AJ Rodrigue, who presents our very first CE eligible show! This is a fun CE episode paired with dialogue all related to verbal behavior! We hope that you enjoy the conversation, as much as we enjoyed recording it. Please follow us on FB @BeautifulHumansCast or IG @BeautifulHumansChange More information regarding this CE event: This event will present a conceptual analysis of the language used in policy, journalism and everyday conversation related to immigration, to include but not limited to: illegal, alien, undocumented, immigrant, migrant, refugee. Antecedents and consequences of verbal behavior related to immigration and immigrants will be examined at both unit (individual/personal) and systems levels. Objectives: The presenters will call upon their behaviorist peers to learn more about the history of language used to shape public opinion and policy, and use the science of behavior analysis to promote equity and acceptability of variation in culture at both the unit and systems level. Participants will be able to connect the methodology of stimulus equivalence with the creation of stereotypes. Participants will be able to utilize self-management techniques to build awareness and shape their own verbal behavior related to immigration. We are excited to bring behavior analysis into the world of social justice, starting with the words we use. 1 Learning CE available Event is Designed For: Anyone, Event Level: Beginner If you are a Patreon member who wishes to gain CE credit, please email the 3 code words listed in the show to [e-mail] We will follow up with next steps! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beautiful-humans/support
