5/18/2022 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

Presenter: Christopher T.H. Liang, PhD

W02 - NON-CE - Lunch Session ($40.00 additional fee)

The deaths of Black people of all genders at the hands of law enforcement, as well as attacks against people of Asian descent over the last several years have reemphasized the need to address racial tensions that exist between groups and attend to how racial oppression operates within systems to influence the lives of people of color. In his talk, Dr. Liang identifies how White supremacy operates within psychological theory, practice, and research to harm people of color. Situated within a radical psychology, Liang positions intersectionality as a method for changing how psychologists conceptualize problems, treat clients, and engage the public.

Presenter: Christopher T. H. Liang, PhD

Dr. Christopher T. H. Liang is Chairperson for the Department of Education and Human Services and a professor of counseling psychology at Lehigh University. He is a licensed psychologist and has published over 50 articles and book chapters, and authored/edited two books, including an edited book entitled, The Cost of Racism for People of Color: Contextualizing Experiences of Discrimination. His areas of scholarship include the effects of racism on the well-being of people of color, the role and intersections of masculinity ideologies, and his current and primary focus: the implementation and outcomes associated with building race-centered trauma-responsive schools. Dr. Liang works with school districts, universities, Departments of Health and Human Services, as well as not-for-profit community organizations to strengthen their capacity to serve diverse children, youth, and families, particularly in the context of racial trauma.
