Description
Promoting social justice in school psychology starts with graduate training programs. It is critical that school psychology programs focus on their socialization processes for students, including students with marginalized identities. We explored the experiences of marginalized students in school psychology graduate programs and how faculty members understand the socialization process. Second, we analyzed those experiences and understandings through critical theories to identify and critique existing oppressive structures for marginalized students. Preliminary findings will be presented.
