多样性、公平和包容

At the 心理、家庭和社区学院, 网易彩票app致力于多元化, 股本, and inclusion across different cultural 身份. We believe this makes us a stronger learning community.

指导原则

We highly value the representation and inclusion of diverse individuals in all of our academic endeavors. We are especially aware that individuals from certain social 身份 have been underrepresented in the psychological sciences and related fields, so we are intentional about the inclusion and support of individuals from those cultural backgrounds.

这种平衡的变化(例如, “de-centering whiteness”) will benefit all of us in SPFC as students, 教师, 和工作人员. We seek to love our local and global neighbors as God intended by engaging in scholarship and learning across multiple systems that will help bring about human flourishing for all.

在SPFC, 网易彩票app坚持多元化, 股本, and inclusion guidelines set forth by our accrediting bodies, such as the American Psychological Association (APA) and American Association for Marriage and 家庭 Therapy (AAMFT). 以下是这些指导原则的例子:

Peter Rivera教授

多样性 is a central part of who I am and what I do. My faith and experiences as an ethnic-racial minority have shaped the way I see diversity in the lives of others, and I hope to invest my time in work that helps move society into a space that values diversity and promotes unity.

— Peter Rivera, Assistant Professor of Marriage and 家庭 Therapy
杰克·本特利教授

多样性 adds richness and texture to our experiences. 对我来说, 作为一名跨文化和残疾研究者, the diversity committee provides a pathway to pursuing inclusion and 股本 in each of our communities.

— Jake Bentley, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology
Paul Youngbin Kim教授

超越庆祝多样性, we also must lament the ways we have set up our society to privilege certain groups, 身份, 以及其他文化. I strive to describe the ways in which we as a profession have fallen short, and seek practical solutions that will address the inequities.

——Paul Youngbin Kim(心理学教授
