The OWSD General Assembly and international conference will be held entirely online for the first time in OWSD's 28-year history, allowing as many of OWSD's 7600+ members to participate as possible.

The conference theme is 'Women, science and development', exploring three areas of relevance: 1) the importance of basic sciences for development; 2) the impact of applied sciences on development and 3) including sex and gender as variables in scientific research.


**Keynote speakers include:** 
* Fabiola Gianotti, Director-General of CERN; 
* Bina Agarwal, an internationally celebrated economist specializing in the political economy of gender, poverty and inequality; and 
* Angela Saini, award-winning author of Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong and the New Research That’s Rewriting the Story, Superior: The Return of Race Science, and other books. 

OWSD members will present their own research in the three themes during poster sessions throughout the conference. In addition, members will also present their own scientific and personal responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. All members will also have the opportunity to take part in a workshop on increasing their visibility and impact as a scientist, with a session on using podcasts for storytelling by Joy Owango and Adelle Onyango of the Training Centre in Communication (TCC Africa), followed by a session on filmmaking for impact by Nicole Leghissa, OWSD video consultant.

The conference will include a handover of the previous OWSD Executive Board to the new members, elected in June-July 2021. On the last day of the conference (19 November), the OWSD Italy Country Network will be launched. **This will be an in-person event in Trieste.** Italian government representatives and donors are invited to attend. The Trieste event will be coordinated with similar in person events being held in OWSD countries throughout the developing world and streamed online. At least 2,000 OWSD members, women scientists from developing countries around the world, are expected to participate online in the General Assembly and conference.

 

**ABOUT THE PROGRAMME**

In order to approach the complex and wide-ranging challenges of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, societies around the world must access and harness all the talent and experience available to them. The concerns and perceptions of the greatest number of all possible actors and recipients must be considered in order that the most relevant issues and effective solutions are found. Women are considerably underrepresented as researchers in STEM subjects around the globe; according to UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS) data, in 2019 the global average percentage of women researchers was still below 30%. Yet women typically have first hand specialist knowledge of the day-to-day challenges diverse individuals face within communities, and can be key informers in the design and development of their solutions. Moreover, since women are most often the providers of informal community support, if they are not fully informed—and if solutions are developed without their consultation—it may be the case that products, services and solutions are not relevant or appropriate. Technological advances may mean improved machines on large farms, for example, potentially increasing food production, but since the key points of food insecurity in the world are on small-scale farms managed by women throughout the Global South, such capital investments will have little impact in the areas where food production is most critical—and where women’s knowledgeable implementation of appropriate innovative technologies could make the most difference.

The Oregon Speech-Language and Hearing Association (OSHA)
Our conference features nationally recognized speakers, such as Dr. Ianessa Humboldt and Q Inclusion, and will be open to speech-language pathologists, audiologists, educational assistants, and
students across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. 

Examing Microagressions to Promote Diversity in Speech-Language Pathology
Speech-language pathologists serve clients from diverse backgrounds and strive to honor cultural and linguistic diversity. Microaggressions, representing systemic biases within society, appear across settings and affect minoritized individuals. This session will provide clinicians with a framework for identifying types of microaggressions, their impact, and ways to promote inclusion.


Learning Objectives:
-Describe types of microaggressions and their connection to societal biases for minoritized individuals and communities.
-Identify examples of microaggressions within speech-language pathology, and explain their effects in clinical, educational, and research settings.
-Examine and address individual and environmental microaggressions within their own work settings to promote diversity.

Examing Microagressions to Promote Diversity in Speech-Language Pathology

SLP and ABA: Collaboration With a Conscience
The WHO (2010) identified interprofessional collaboration as a necessity in supporting clients, making collaborative practice between SLPs and BCBAs essential. However, collaboration between these professionals may present challenges for many reasons, including overlap between professional scopes of practice and opposing theoretical perspectives. This presentation aims to bolster relationships between SLPs and BCBAs.


Learning Objectives:
-Identify hallmarks of the neurodiversity movement and how it pertains to the fields of speech-language pathology and applied behavior analysis (ABA).
-Demonstrate how to engage in open and direct communication with professionals from an outside discipline and express concerns.
-Describe an interdisciplinary treatment outline targeting client goals and scope of practice..

SLP and ABA: Collaboration With a Conscience

Perinatal Mental Health Education and Early Intervention
This session will cover information on perinatal and postpartum mental health symptoms and diagnoses, mental health measures used by health care professionals, data on the prevalence and negative outcomes on early development.


Learning Objectives:
-Describe three perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).
-List three PMADs symptoms that are not depression.
-Predict two consequences of untreated PMADs.

Perinatal Mental Health Education and Early Intervention

Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) are constantly striving to make positive changes. There are many ways to participate in professional advocacy including opportunities for students and SLPs at all career levels. In this talk we will discuss different ways to advocate, explore the legislative process, and share state and national level resources.


Learning Objectives:
-Identify opportunities for professional advocacy at any stage in the profession (student to long-serving professional).
-Describe the legislative process as it pertains to professional advocacy at the state level.
-Compare state and national level resources for professional advocacy opportunities.
