Summary: | Given the representation of women in behavior analysis, a demographic population that is typically a minority in other scientific disciplines (National Science Foundation 2015), has increased substantially over a relatively short period of time (~20 years), we thought it an important time to provide accounts from the perspectives of prominent women who experienced behavior-analytic academic training and professional environments over this period of time and get advice based on what they learned. [...]a consensus process was used to select a group of interviewees who were representative of a combination of different characteristics, including (a) academic training environments, (b) areas of expertise, and (c) work settings. [...]these women have (a) published 682 journal articles, book chapters, and books; (b) held a total of 74 appointments as editors or associate editors of top-tier journals in behavior analysis; and (c) have served in 39 elected leadership positions in national and international organizations. |
