- Education
In fall of 2015, The American Association Veterinary Medical Colleges launched Diversity & Inclusion on Air: Conversations about Diversity, Inclusion & Veterinary Medicine.
Although there has been in an increase in the amount of diversity programming hosted by AAVMC, its member institutions and student organizations, there is still a dearth of available programming within the veterinary profession. Diversity & Inclusion on Air will change this by delivering more diversity programming to a wider veterinary audience. The program interviews and presentations will cover a wide range of topics and feature guests from across the profession.

106: Racialized Pet Ownership Narratives
On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Adilia James of Endicott College revisits the show to discuss her research on racism in veterinary medicine. Her recent paper describes the stories we tell ourselves about pet ownership across, and even sometimes within, race. These racialized narratives have the ability to shape the way veterinarians and other veterinary professionals view pet owners whose race may be different than their own.
