Excuse Me, I'm Speaking: Analysis of Women's Representation as Keynote and Invited Speakers in Behavior Analysis

Researchers have recently had greater interest in publishing data on women's participation in behavior analysis. This emphasis has resulted in analyses of women's representation as authors of peer-reviewed publications, and the results have been largely encouraging. Another area to study in this line of research is serving as a keynote or invited speaker at conferences. Although there are some limited data published in this area, no study has yet examined women's participation in these roles across all U.S. state associations for behavior analysis. Thus, we analyzed all U.S. state association keynote and invited conference speakers from 2015 to 2020.
