This event is Session 4 in our series,
Bridging Different Ways of Knowing: Making Non-Behavioral Concepts Accessible and Actionable for Behavior Analysts
There are many ways of knowing. And these ways of knowing are differentially useful for promoting knowledge and effective action in different contexts. Despite our terribly powerful analyses and technologies, however, behavior analysts have repeatedly found our impact limited by rigid adherence to our contextual way of knowing and technical way of speaking. Some behavior analysts, however, have been successful in connecting concepts and issues from across the spectrum of knowledge with accessible and effectively actionable behavioral conceptualizations. This series aims to celebrate that practice of bridging by inviting experts and activists in fields of social significance (1) to present the concepts that emerge from their way of knowing and (2) to participate in a translational conversation that brings a behavioral way of knowing to bear.
Connections Behavior Planning and Intervention is excited to welcome Dr. Kate Kellum and Dana Wall for a Continuing Education webinar for Behavior Analysts! This event will consist of (1) a presentation on current issues related to Tactical Urbanism, led by Dana Wall; and then (2) a discussion between Dr. Kellum and Dana to translate important issues and concepts into language familiar to and actionable by behavior analysts and other professionals.
This is the fourth session of an 8-session series. If you would like to register for all 8 sessions at a discount, please visit the Bridging Series page.
Abstract:
This session focuses on Tactical Urbanism, an approach to planning that often involves citizens implementing low-cost short-term projects to change the build environment in order to produce longer-term improvements to street safety and public spaces. These projects change the context to allow communities to see if such changes produce desirable changes in human behavior. We will provide discuss the primary goals of Tactical Urbanism, provide examples of projects, and examine the roles that contextual scientists can play in such projects. This session hopes to give participants the tools to being exploring ways to improve their own communities.
