This Shit Runs Deep w/ Allen Thomas, PhD
You're walking in with all these firm boundaries that really aren't based in humanity or connection, and then you're saying that you know how things are going. The reality is there's there's a wealth of research, there's a wealth of scholarship, and I'm sure, we've both seen, in person, when folks call themselves neutral very often, they're the exact opposite of it.
The exact opposite!
Thank you so much Allen Thomas (He/They) for reminding us why it’s so important to be honest about our lenses!
This episode touches on a lot and I am excited to see what people take from it. In this episode we discuss:
-Why people need to acknowledge all the history they can
-What active marginalization looks like
-How to move forward as a “career adventurer”
I am always so ecstatic to have power house guests in my space! These people come in with amazing insight and I am just so honored to have a space for them to share it all with y’all! Tune in today!
The ✨ key words✨ for this episode are:
Systemic
Generational Trauma
Marginalization
I encourage you to look up the definitions of these words and compare them to the definitions you carry with you. If you need help comparing please let me know.

Allen Thomas is a researcher with a background in psychology, education, and DEI. Growing up in Arkansas and graduating from Little Rock Central High School, he later got his PhD in Counseling Psychology and did research on topics including comics, media, race, and sexual orientation. After working in higher education as a faculty member and administrator, he took the leap to ux research after seeing the depth of marginalization in the higher education system. A big nerd, he likes to spend his time playing video games, making art, or just chilling, and loves to consider what a more just and liberated world looks like by examining psychology, behavior, and media.
