Episode 192: Behavior Analysis in Venezuela with Dr. Mirari Elcoro, Amalix Flores, and Dr. Corina Jimenez-Gomez

This conversation explores the contributions of three authors of the paper: Behavior Analysis in Venezuela: An Unrecognized Legacy published in the journal, Behavior Analysis in Practice, and outlines their journeys from Venezuela to the U.S., and the socio-political context that shaped their experiences. The speakers discuss the rich history of behavior analysis in Venezuela, the unique Latin American model of education, and the significant role women played in establishing and sustaining behavior analysis programs. They reflect on the importance of community, identity, and tribute in academia, as well as the challenges and adaptations faced in their professional journeys. The conversation concludes with a hopeful outlook on the future of behavior analysis in Venezuela and the importance of recognizing and sharing research contributions from the region
