DABA 632 Diversity and Advanced Professional Practice Issues for Behavior Analysts

DABA 632 is a doctoral level course focused on issues related to diversity and ethical practice for behavior analysts. This course will examine the role that diversity plays in the science and professional practice of Behavior Analysis. This course will also explore advanced ethical subject matter related to the practice of Behavior Analysis. In preparation for a live synchronous class meeting, students will participate in weekly asynchronous critical reflection assignments. Class meetings will include a combination of group discussions and student presentations. This course will commence by introducing the broad concept of diversity and historical developments in behavior analysis. Early in the course, students will evaluate their own experiences with diversity both at the individual practitioner level and in their work with diverse groups. This course will also examine theory and research from other disciplines and consider how these sources may influence future behavior analytic research and practice. The latter part of the course will address advanced ethical issues for behavior analysts concerning social and legal matters.
