Another Brick in the Wall: Challenges and Opportunities in Higher Education and Behavior Analysis
During this episode we chat with Dr. Traci Cihon about challenges and opportunities in higher education and behavior analysis. Traci received her master’s degree from the University of Nevada-Reno, her PhD from The Ohio State University, and is actively pursuing a Master’s in Public Health. She recently resigned from her position as an Associate Professor from the Department of Behavior Analysis at The University of North Texas and is currently a “stay-at-home scholar” in Memphis, TN working part-time with the University of Nevada-Reno Global Institute for Behavior Analysis. Dr. Cihon is also currently exploring community-based collaborations, especially those with a focus on strengthening communities by engaging and empowering youth while rekindling some of her previous work in literacy instruction. Dr. Cihon’s scholarship focuses on culturo-behavior systems science, building systems to support behavior scientific work on social and cultural issues, developing international and interdisciplinary collaborations, and behavioral education. She has served on editorial boards for several peer-reviewed journals, including Behavior and Social Issues, Perspectives on Behavior Science, and The Analysis of Verbal Behavior. Dr. Cihon currently serves on the editorial board for the American Annals of the Deaf and is the editor-in-chief for Behavior and Social Issues. She has co-edited two books in the ABAI book series, Behavior Science Perspectives on Culture and Community, and Women in Behavior Science: Observations of Life Inside and Outside of the Academy. In addition to serving as a member of the Board of Planners for both the ABAI and TxABA Behaviorists for Social Responsibility Special Interest Groups, she was awarded the APA Division 25 Fred S.
