Mapping the Intersection of Diversity and Psychological Clinical Science
Gordon C. Nagayama Hall, Ph.D. | Associate Director of Research in the Center on Diversity and Community | Professor of Psychology | University of Oregon
There has been a sharp disagreement between those who advocate for fidelity of evidence-based interventions and those who advocate for cultural fit. A wide range of effect sizes has been reported in the meta-analyses of the effectiveness of culturally-adapted treatments. Dr. Hall will present a new comprehensive meta-analysis of 61 studies of culturally-adapted treatments involving more than 13,000 participants that provides strong support for the effectiveness of culturally-adapted treatments vs. other conditions.

Derald Wing Sue, Ph.D. | Professor of Psychology and Education | Teachers College, Columbia University
Derald Wing Sue is Professor of Psychology and Education in the Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. He served as presidents of the Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues, the Society of Counseling Psychology, and the Asian American Psychological Association. Dr. Sue is an Associate Editor of the American Psychologist and continues to be a consulting editor for numerous publications. He is author of over 150 publications, including 15 books, and is well known for his work on racism/antiracism, cultural competence, multicultural counseling and therapy, and social justice advocacy. Two of his books, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice and Overcoming our Racism: The Journey to Liberation(Wiley) are considered classics in the field. His most recent publication Microaggressions in Everyday Life: Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation was released in February 2010. Dr. Sue’s most recent research on racial, gender, and sexual orientation microaggressions have been a major breakthrough in understanding how everyday slights, insults and invalidations toward marginalized groups create psychological harm to their mental and physical health, and create disparities for them in education, employment and health care. A national survey has identified Derald Wing Sue as “the most influential multicultural scholar in the United States” and his works are among the most frequently cited. [download presentation slides]

Spaces, Places, and Mental Health
David Takeuchi, Ph.D. | Associate Dean for Research, School of Social Work | Professor, Department of Sociology & School of Social Work | University of Washington
Overview: A considerable body of research suggests that certain residential patterns, especially segregation, are harmful to the well-being of African Americans. Despite this empirical trend, research onthe effects of residential spaces on the health among Asian Americans and Latinos has demonstrated inconsistent effects. We use multilevel analyses to test competing hypotheses regarding whether facets of residential patterns, in particular ethnic density and isolation, are harmful or beneficial to the well-being of Asian and Latino Americans. We use data from the 2000 US Census and the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) to test these hypotheses. In this talk, I will also address some future directions in thinking about geographic spaces and call for more attention to the social construct of place as a potentially meaningful link to the health of different racial and ethnic groups.
