Episode 7: History as a Professional Responsibility
from Preserving Our Past, Informing Our Future · host Sydney Stevenson
In episode 7 of Preserving Our Past, Informing Our Future, the host and Dr. Reed reflect on what is lost when practitioners become disconnected from their roots, and why engaging with occupational therapy’s past is essential to shaping its future. This episode invites listeners, especially students and emerging practitioners, to see history not as static knowledge, but as a living foundation that informs practice, identity, and the ongoing evolution of occupational therapy. This series was created as a part of my capstone project in collaboration with the Blagg-Huey Library at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, TX.Faculty Mentor: Lou Ann Hintz, PhD, OTRAgency Mentor: Esther Garcia, MLS For more information about OT history, visit otleaders.org
