Round Table Discussion: Diversity and Inclusion; Being Black in Audiology--Discussing Racism Towards Black Audiologists and Black Audiology Students

Racism aimed towards Black people within the United States was prevalent long before the events of the year 2020. However, with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement across the country, many Audiologists who identify as Black or African American united together to work towards facilitating change within our field. With less than 4% of the Audiology population being Black/AA, it is often difficult to find representation among audiology leadership roles, preceptors, and students. Joining together to share experiences has helped bring generations of Black/AA Audiologists closer and more prepared for a diverse future. This opportunity allows for many voices to finally be heard as one.
