Using Solutions of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: The Failing Efforts of Behavior Analysis to Uphold Scientific, Professional, and Ethical Standards

White supremacy ideology permeates all sectors of society, including scientific spaces such as behavior analysis. It is apparent that the field of behavior analysis is interested in addressing structural oppression, specifically racism and police brutality. Current solutions such as committees, policies, and scholarship initiatives in the field of behavior analysis can be described as additive solutions and the data we have regarding outcomes of those programs have not indicated effectiveness. With this paper, we highlight the shortcomings of the current interventions and propose solutions that are grounded in critical theory and organizational theory.
