You may have seen the infographic I created based on an article reviewing Racial Microaggressions. As a follow up to that, I was grateful to interview with three of the authors of the original article, Dr. Emily Grullon, Dr. Carlneshia Hunnicutt and Dr. Mirtha Whaley about the background behind what motivated them to complete this review and the relationship between social and occupational justice. They answer the question, "Do OTs have a role addressing racial microaggresions when working with clients?". This article won the first ever FOTA award for the Soul of Occupational Therapy Award.
You can find the article discussed in this episode here.
