The 2012 Winter Roundtable Conference
February 24th and 25th (Friday and Saturday)
February 24th and 25th (Friday and Saturday)
"Beyond Borders: Transforming Lives
Through Traditions and Innovations"
The Winter Roundtable is the longest running continuing professional education program in the United States devoted solely to cultural issues in psychology and education. The Winter Roundtable will continue its tradition of bringing together scholars, practitioners, researchers, social change agents and students interested in the intersections between race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation in psychology and education.
This year's theme, "Beyond Borders: Transforming Lives Through Traditions and Innovations", underscores the Roundtable's commitment to recognizing the multiple and complex effects of culture and social location in psychological and educational matters.
As can been seen in the media, international and immigration concerns continue to be at the forefront of the lives of millions of people, both in the U.S. and beyond.
We will emphasize research and interventions in community, school, and family settings, as well as individual development, regarding a wide range of topics, including language, literacy, access, wellness, cultural values, and experiences with oppression and discrimination.
The Winter Roundtable's legacy in honoring significant and promising research, practice, and training innovations in cultural psychology and education will include five highlighted conference features:

> The presentation of the 22nd Annual Janet E. Helms Award for Mentoring
