Jordyn Carroll, a speech-language pathologist, recently discussed with UConn’s NSSLHA chapter how she felt frustrated and unable to establish her voice in the area of speech pathology. She grew up in a diverse area and attended predominantly white institutions, but was accepted at Howard University, a historically black college. She discussed the barriers faced by marginalized groups, such as systemic oppression, standardized assessment bias, and microaggressions. She also described Intersectionality Theory, which explains how various social identities contribute to systemic oppression and discrimination. To address these issues, she mentions that individuals should self-reflect, question their identities, and identify the identities that have the greatest impact on their perception. Anti-racism in speech and language therapy is crucial for individuals who experience racism and those who do not. Culturally responsive SLPs provide cultural content relevant to students from diverse backgrounds, teaching the importance of respecting one’s own culture and identities. The chapter was so grateful to have her come speak with them!
