Addressing Elements of White Supremacy in Counselor Education: A Curriculum Model for Decentering WhitenessFriday March 24th, 2023 3PM EST, 2PM CST, 1PM MST, 12PM PST
Presented by: Dr. Frank Gorritz & Dr. Lili Burciaga Description: Despite a perceived “post-racist era” prevalent in various forms of social discourse, racial injustice is still perpetuated throughout education systems for the helping profession, particularly counselor education. This presentation addresses the various ways racial injustice manifests through the dominance of white racial narratives, perspectives, and values in counselor education. Furthermore, this presentation addresses the impacts of white supremacy on counselor education in the present, as well as strategies to disrupt racial oppression in counselor education. Lastly, this presentation presents a curriculum model for counselor educators across the country to present possibilities on how counselor educators can disrupt white supremacy at both the master's and doctoral level for counselors/counselor educators in training. Learning Objectives: To help attendees identify elements of white supremacy still present in counselor education. To help attendees conceptualize strategies for disrupting counselor education in current practice. To provide a model for attendees that helps restructure counselor education curricula, to decenter whiteness in counselor education. Attendees will receive 1 CEU after completing a survey
