Abstract:

How can you use your behavior-analytic training to create a culture of caring and sustainable behavior at your university? By collaborating across disciplines, we can create an environment where people work together to solve the world's toughest problems. Two years ago, prominent figures from behavior analysis and an array of other fields came together at an ABAI-sponsored conference to work together to integrate behavioral and other approaches to creating a more sustainable and caring culture. As a field, behavior analysis can take a leading role in such efforts, and grass-roots programs within university training programs can serve as a springboard from which tomorrow's leaders can develop their skills and expertise. The panelists in this discussion will discuss their experiences developing programs to bring a behavior analytic approach to efforts to increase sustainability and promote active caring within their university communities. Each panelist will share barriers, solutions, and successes in starting and maintaining student-centered programs of this type at their universities.
