This course, presented by Adrienne Bradley, addresses a topic rarely examined in behavior analysis: the complex dynamics that emerge when People of Color organizations navigate spaces traditionally dominated by White institutions. While much of the discourse on race in behavior analysis has focused on the relationship between White practitioners and practitioners of color, this presentation explores the less-discussed but equally important dynamics among People of Color organizations themselves as they respond to increased engagement from traditionally White organizations following heightened awareness of racial injustice.

However, there appears to be less discourse around the nuanced and, at times, complicated relationships involving how People of Color organizations engage with each other within spaces and systems where they have historically not been represented. Following the murder of George Floyd, the world was disrupted around issues racial injustice and People of Color organizations are being engaged by traditionally White organizations at an unprecedented rate and intensity. This novel engagement has positioned People of Color organizations to engage in pivotal behaviors among each other around coalition building and competition. In addition to navigating the complexities of identity politics to effectively move forward with goals and objectives, People of Color organizations are now charged with reflecting upon how they engage with other People of Color, at an organizational level. Just a few questions that are being posed include how will People of Color organizations participate in and develop organizational conditions? Who sets the priority for actionable items, across organizations? How will cross organizational tensions be addressed and how should larger traditionally White organizations be engaged by People of Color organizations to maximize the benefits and positive outcomes? This panel of leaders will engage in dialogue about the most effective ways People of Color organizations can move forward in solidarity to maximize efforts toward positive outcomes, for their constituents.
