Diversity - Building Bridges not Walls: Applying Lessons from Contemplative Science to Enhance Equity and Inclusion in the Classroom, Clinic and Beyond
Hillman Hall, Hillman 60 |
On Friday March 31 we will have the 5th lecture in our Mindfulness and Anti-Racism series. We will have the fortune of hosting Doris Chang for an in-person presentation. The talk will be recorded and available to watch later in our webpage. Chang is a clinical psychologist and Associate Professor in the NYU Silver School of Social Work. Her research seeks to advance the well-being of BIPOC communities by understanding the processes that impact psychological health and developing culturally-grounded interventions that integrate mindfulness and other contemplative traditions to promote racial equity. Her most recent work examines Asian Americans’ experiences of discrimination in the Covid-19 pandemic and the role that critical consciousness may play in promoting more resilient coping. Her research has been profiled on ABC News, CNN, 20/20, NPR and the New York Times.
