Episode 219: Colonization, Behavior Science, and Parenting with Robin Williams, Vanessa Bethea-Miller, and Wendy Toribio-Baez

In this conversation, Ben speaks with Robin Williams, Wendy Toribio-Baez, and Vanessa Bethea-Miller about the intersection of trauma-informed practices, behavior analysis, and parenting, particularly in the context of colonization and historical trauma. They explore how these factors influence parenting styles, the importance of self-reflection, and the need for cultural humility in practice. The discussion emphasizes the significance of understanding historical trauma and its impact on behavior, especially in at-risk youth, and the role of intersectionality in shaping experiences and identities. The speakers also highlight the importance of community support and ongoing education in addressing these complex issues.
