20230715T0945 20230715T1115 America/Los_Angeles Interactive #14: Navigating Intersectional Identities: Creating a New PsyD in Clinical Psychology

This interactive panel highlights the diverse experiences of students and faculty of color who identify as first-generation professionals in a new PsyD in Clinical Psychology program. The discussion will explore ways in which they traverse home, social, and academic support systems. Using an intersectionality lens, student and career development theories, and critical race theory, the presenters will discuss the historical and social contexts of individual, institutional, and psychological supports and their impact on their educational and professional outcomes. Panelists will engage in a communal ethnographic discussion reflecting on their common and lived experiences in a new PsyD program aimed at training the next generation of ethical and socially just health service psychologists who strive for cultural humility in their practice. The ultimate goal of this panel is to amplify the voices of first-generation professionals of color, in order to decolonize and liberate the field of psychology. Participants will then be invited to share their own educational and professional narratives as a way of giving voice to marginalized experiences and validating knowledge production about educational and career development for first-generation professionals of color.
