Dr. Riana Anderson discusses areas for improving cultural humility within the hierarchical system of academia, namely among supervisors/mentors and trainees. She provides practical tools for translating missteps and good intentions into advocacy and meaningful change to ultimately cultivate an environment in which those who are most vulnerable can thrive. Recommendations include taking a diagnostic inventory of the respective training environment, treating education in cultural humility the same as other training content, and disclosing experiences of discrimination in academia as a way of prioritizing wellness among others.
