Suzette Vontell Chang Speaking Topics

  • "STEM + Anthropology: Explaining, Understanding and Executing Platelet Rich Plasma for Historically Underestimated Communities

    During the past decade, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) made a splash in schools across the country. And why not? Positioning art is a necessity with STEM as young minds and educators learn how to ideate, build relationships and create. As the relationship between natural sciences and art grows, the opportunity to understand cultural impacts and STEM, specifically stem cell research, is overlooked.

    This presentation speaks to Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and its limited access, if not absence, in geographic spaces whose primary populations are generational poverty, melanated women and reduced health care opportunities.

  • Creating "And" Spaces: Moving Beyond Politeness (aka Nice-Nasty) to Skills, Knowledge "And" Anthropological Kindness

    Many cultures contend that politeness is sufficient within human spaces. Suzette Chang is a member of a culture that takes great pride in manners. As members of the Great Black Migration, her family required politeness as it speaks to the nostalgia of her southern roots. Studies reveal that human beings that execute good manners, i.e. "yes mam", "no sir", "please" and "thank you" etc. are assigned robust social capital, giving them "a foot in the door" within the context of work, education and personal experiences.

    Although welcomed, politeness is surface, offering distrust with the potential label of "Nice-Nasty" This presentation positions the "and" as a necessary component to communicating, engaging and understanding cultural perspectives as our work and personal spaces continue to evolve in thick and descriptive systems. Similar to layers of comprehension and delivery, Suzette Chang explains the importance of maintaining "and" spaces using anthropology."

  • Sustainable Leadership: Using Anthropological Methods to Achieve Qualitative Leadership

    The 21st century confirmed our ability to work within various work ecosystems. Due to the presence of technological advances, digital platforms, and the choice to develop hybrid work experiences, human beings can shift and change how and where we work. These broad and contemporary work choices offer new opportunities for leadership, specifically creating and maintaining sustainable leadership as the work place continues to involve.

    From the perspectives of language, history, culture and biology, Suzette Chang unpacks, explains and provides anthropological methodologies that create and maintain qualitative leadership grounded in trust and mutual understandings.
