Ratts\, \;participants will be introduced to an emerging social justice model that will help students and working profess ionals address issues of equity in community\, mental health and educatio nal settings. There is a growing urgency for there to be social change a gents in community and educational settings. This urgency is driven by a nationalist discourse that serves to dehumanize and silence the voices of those who are marginalized in society. Those who support a nationalist d iscourse seek to reestablish power to those in the dominant group. Unfort unately\, this discourse comes at the expense of those who are marginaliz ed in society. Moreover\, this nationalist discourse calls for a return t o an era in which groups are pitted against each other and to an era when oppression thrived Challenging the nationalist discourse is critical. Y et\, this task that can be overwhelming for those who work in community a nd educational settings. Part of this challenge stems from the fact that many students and professionals lack their own discourse (e.g.\, ideas\, language\, theories\, etc.) on how to use their professional roles to add ress the toxic conditions that a nationalist agenda imposes on those in m arginalized communities in their professional roles. This problem exists because many graduate training programs have not provided students and n ew professionals with the "tools" to address toxic environmental conditio ns that impede on the well being of those in marginalized communities. Th us\, it is not uncommon for students and professionals to lack an underst anding of how to parlay their roles as working professionals to create so cial and political change. A new professional discourse is needed. A new professional discourse can be important in equipping working professiona ls with "tools" to better address the nationalist agenda that threatens t he well being of those in marginalize communities. Participants will be introduced to a framework that helps them understand how to integrate soc ial advocacy and research into their professional roles so they may bette r advocate for social and political change. Moreover\, participants will learn how to create research based advocacy interventions in their profes sional roles. \; \; Details &\; RSVP Date and Time: \; Saturday\, June 2\, 2018\, 9:30-11:30 a.m. This discussion is free a nd open to the public.

In this workshop with 2018 graduate sch ool commencement speaker\, Dr. Manivong J. Ratts\, \;participants wil l be introduced to an emerging social justice model that will help studen ts and working professionals address issues of equity in community\, ment al health and educational settings.
There is a growing urgency fo r there to be social change agents in community and educational settings. This urgency is driven by a nationalist discourse that serves to dehuman ize and silence the voices of those who are marginalized in society. Thos e who support a nationalist discourse seek to reestablish power to those in the dominant group. Unfortunately\, this discourse comes at the expens e of those who are marginalized in society. Moreover\, this nationalist d iscourse calls for a return to an era in which groups are pitted against each other and to an era when oppression thrived
Challenging the nationalist discourse is critical. Yet\, this task that can be overwhelmi ng for those who work in community and educational settings. Part of this challenge stems from the fact that many students and professionals lack their own discourse (e.g.\, ideas\, language\, theories\, etc.) on how to use their professional roles to address the toxic conditions that a nati onalist agenda imposes on those in marginalized communities in their prof essional roles.
This problem exists because many graduate trainin g programs have not provided students and new professionals with the "too ls" to address toxic environmental conditions that impede on the well bei ng of those in marginalized communities. Thus\, it is not uncommon for st udents and professionals to lack an understanding of how to parlay their roles as working professionals to create social and political change.
A new professional discourse is needed. A new professional discourse can be important in equipping working professionals with "tools" to bett er address the nationalist agenda that threatens the well being of those in marginalize communities.
Participants will be introduced to a framework that helps them understand how to integrate social advocacy and research into their professional roles so they may better advocate for s ocial and political change. Moreover\, participants will learn how to cre ate research based advocacy interventions in their professional roles. 60\; \;
