Conference Highlights
Keynote Address
April 5 at 9:00 AM
"Immigration Policies in the United States: Understanding violence nation-wide and in Santa Cruz, CA."
By, Dr. Regina Langhout
Regina Langhout is a Professor in the Psychology Department at UC Santa Cruz. Her research examines empowerment in schools, neighborhoods, and the workplace. In this work, she is also interested in whiteness as a form of power that must be held accountable. As a critical social-community psychologist, she is best known for her youth participatory action research with 9-12 year old children. She has spoken about or given workshops on yPAR with children across the Americas. Most recently, her yPAR work has focused on state-led violence against immigrant communities, and how non-immigrant communities cover up this violence and/or act in solidarity. She is an associate editor for the American Journal of Community Psychology.
