Profile
Please note that because my primary appointment is in administration, I am not accepting students for the 2011-2012 academic year. I am unsure of plans to accept advisees in future years.My interest in multicultural counseling and more specifically, ethnic and racial identity issues began with my investigation of the connection between ethnic identity and academic achievement among Mexican origin youth. I have continued this line of work and believe that counseling psychology has much to add to the dialogue on the educational struggles of Latino subgroups. However, I have also developed broader interests with regard to identity issues, such as how racial identity constructs, originally designed to capture the experiences of African Americans and White individuals, may or may not capture the experiences of Asian Americans and Latinos. Having now taught the Multicultural Counseling course for several semesters, and now that my primary appointment involves diversity education on campus, my research interests have come to focus on diversity training and the development of multicultural competencies. These interests currently focus on school counselors and teachers.
