This is an important discussion for dietitians #da2022 Thanks @DanielleGalle15 for your leadership in this work #bebold

[Alison Ward @Alison_WardAPD]

Amazing presentation and 🙏 to hear about this.

[Robyn Delbridge AdvAPD @RobynDelbridge]

I have found knowledge interface methodologies incredibly powerful in my praxis... and I'm so thrilled to hear @courtcryder share these theories with #DA2022 for dietitians to think about!

[Danielle Gallegos, PhD, FDAA @DanielleGalle15]

Did you know that #foodinsecure families rarely have leftovers and many even change cooking habits so their dogs can get fed anything left. Those on high incomes have a responsibility to change their habits #DA2022

@DanielleGalle15 Everyone deserves dignity and choice

#DA2022 workshop with @RobynDelbridge and team discussing power and privilege, and discomfort is central:

It costs you your comfort to acknowledge your privilege.

It is uncomfortable to sit with your privilege.

Discomfort is not a good enough reason to not engage.

@maie_lynn In letting go the work does become meaningful. In the midst of participatory research project myself atm. You have to check in and be mindful of your privilege when doing the work.

[Alison Ward @Alison_WardAPD]

@maie_lynn This means for you to pause and reflect immediately. In an ideal world problematic research methods should not have passed a robust up to date ethics process. Before that though it's the responsibility of researchers to check with community to identify issues before they submit.

[Alison Ward @Alison_WardAPD]

@Nette8Two @ange_wilson That's the best 🤣
