[PAST EVENT] Faculty Research Brown Bag: Learn from the Past, Reflect on the Present, and Plan for a Just Future
Location
Zoom
Learning from the Past, Reflecting on the Present, and Planning for a Just Future
Janise Parker, associate professor of school psychology, will present her work with the Bray School Lab, where she will link key findings from her review of (a) learning material used to instruct the Bray School students and (b) the broader ideology surrounding the institution of slavery/social oppression to contemporary issues in K-12 schools. Participants will be encouraged to identify action steps one could execute in their respective roles to create a more just future for K-12 students.
Dr. Parker takes a healing approach to understanding the intersection of history and current practices to inform services that help communities to thrive and grow. Her research focuses on (a) culturally responsive mental and behavioral health services, (b) sociocultural factors and positive youth development, especially among Black K-12 students, and (c) religious and spiritual diversity among marginalized youth. As a licensed psychologist and researcher focused on multicultural practice, Dr. Parker has consistently trained students to respond to the needs of diverse populations by providing holistic mental health care for youth and families and/or producing scholarship of impact.
