The Engaging Occupational Science Podcast is set to launch in 2023.
This episode is being launched as a promotion of the type of content that is yet to come, and that is included in the Foundations of Occupational Science Asynchronous Online Course and Learning Community designed for US-based OTPs and Prospective OT students who possibly were never exposed to Occupational Science and want to learn more about how this 35-year-old field relates to current and emerging practice in the US and across the globe.
Dr. John White, Ph.D., OTRL, FAOTA, started his career on a trajectory that most of us as US-based OTPs can connect with as someone seeking a stable career with medical prestige while witnessing rapid change to the structure of US social support infrastructure. He initially saw his work as apolitical (without politics) and entered the field without much exposure to OT theory. Later he found himself at the apex of the founding of Occupational Science in the United States at the University of Southern California as a Masters's Student and teacher assistant. There he got exposed on the ground floor to a field that would go to shift the trajectory of his worldview and his life's work. In this interview, we explore together how we can contextualize are positioning in Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science history and create space for transformational learning and the evolution of our practice in the United States in connection to this dynamic international field and perspective.
