Course presentation made me think about how some persons who are not native English speakers may face discrimination when looking for a job due to their accent which reduces speech intelligibility.

I knew that this was a controversial area, but did not know more than that, as I have very limited involvement in accent modification. I liked that the presenter discussed the various points of view, explained terminology, had recordings of clients and providers.

I appreciated Bob's continual focus on the SLP's responsibility to the individual client, and to understanding and helping each individual communicate more effectively. I also appreciated his acknowledgement of the complexity of this sub-field. There is a fine line between phonological instruction and changing someone's accent. We all carry implicit bias and we live in a highly charged polarized society. Bob provides excellent resources for learning how to practice responsibly and ethically.

"Social justice framework" (?) "Critical social justice concerns" (?) "Linguistic discrimination" (?) An unfortunate 1:31:47 hours of virtual signaling.

Clearly the presenter was an expert on the topic. I wish he had prepared visuals to view as he spoke about each point. His rapid fire, constant verbal presentation was challenging for me to identify his main points vs. the less important details. Then when I tried reading the handouts to see if they helped, I had even more difficulty processing what he was saying. Many of the details appeared to be minutia, even though they were critical to understanding the topic. It would have helped to have v
