“As a faculty and administrator of color, I have often wondered about ways to promote inclusion and the advancement of interns who come from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Whereas such interns/students are often seen as factors that add to the education and training experiences of those from dominant cultural backgrounds, specific modules and frameworks to center the identity and conversations about historically underrepresented interns/students have been vastly missing. Dr. Kim and Dr. Johal’s work provides us with that missing piece which puts the critical centering on experiences of the often forgotten voices.” —Hideko Sera, Psy.D., associate dean of student services for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Morehouse College; former president, National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology
