When I met Dr. Price in 2021, I was very interested in learning her highly educated, greatly researched opinion about why non English speakers shortened, abbreviated or even changed their names when they moved to predominantly English speaking countries.
In this episode, which spans across 2 parts, Dr. Price unpacks how she pioneered her entire business to create tools that furthered the work we both do in the wide arena of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Her lead up to her book, her workshops and her realisation that
- it is not always racism that is the problem BUT that the problem(& it's interpretation) that causes racism
- it is a lack of understanding of the different cultures that fuels friction
- the observations of English speakers are valid, however the interpretations are not valid.
We talk about the 'bottom up' approach that she employed to create ‘Working with Asian Names’ and ‘Customer Service Across Cultures’ workshops, which were (and still are) hits with the corporate world,the education field, with librarians even. Sometimes given the moniker as 'the name doctor', Dr. Price comes from a mixed cultural heritage herself. Her father is Anglo-Australian and mother is from Malaysia. Her interpretations of how to create respectful, long lasting changes by impacting cross cultural communication is seriously inspirational.
