The 38th Annual Winter Roundtable
A PANDEMIC OF RACISM
February 25th-27th, 2021
#WRT2021
Thank you for attending the 2021 Winter Roundtable Conference! We look forward to seeing you at next year's conference!
2021 Winter Roundtable Program Schedule
The Winter Roundtable is the longest running continuing professional education program in the United States devoted solely to cultural issues in psychology, education, and social work. The Winter Roundtable continues its tradition of bringing together scholars, practitioners, researchers, social change agents and students interested in the intersections between race, ethnicity, social class, gender, ability status, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation in psychology, education, and social work.
We, the members of the Winter Roundtable Community, bear witness to the pernicious effects of systemic racism—including health disparities of the COVID-19 pandemic and the murder of Black and Brown people by police—and we feel an urgent call to action and call to connection. Though we wish to gather together, we are also keenly aware of the risks that accompany a conference. Thus, the 38th Annual Winter Roundtable, a Pandemic of Racism, will be a virtual conference that will span Thursday, February 25th to Saturday, February 27th, 2021. We are hopeful that a virtual conference will engage more students, scholars, professionals and activists. We are hopeful that our time together will offer us the opportunity to reconnect, recharge, and rechart our path forward. We are hopeful that we, in the disciplines of psychology and education, will once again rise to meet the challenges of our time. We wish you good health and good spirits, and we wish to see you remotely in February, 2021.
Winter Roundtable Statement on Police Brutality
We are anguished and outraged by the murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others whose deaths add yet another name to the appalling list of innocent Black and Brown people killed by police in the United States. Our hearts are with these families, friends, and communities, for we recognize the traumatic effect of their deaths on those who loved them. Our hearts are also with our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, who continue to be traumatized by and suffer under white supremacy. For 37 years, the Winter Roundtable has worked to support the efforts of scholars, practitioners and activists in the cause of anti-racism and social justice; now, more than ever, the Roundtable family must continue to lead that cause in the disciplines of psychology and education.
As we prepare for our 38th conference, as a community we are called together in collective action and healing—please join us.

Roxane Gay is an author and cultural critic whose writing is unmatched and widely revered. Her work garners international acclaim for its reflective, no-holds-barred exploration of feminism and social criticism. With a deft eye on modern culture, she brilliantly critiques its ebb and flow with both wit and ferocity.
Words like “courage,” “humor,” and “smart” are frequently deployed when describing Roxane.

Her work garners international acclaim for its reflective, no-holds-barred exploration of feminism and social criticism. With a deft eye on modern culture, she brilliantly critiques its ebb and flow with both wit and ferocity.
Words like “courage,” “humor,” and “smart” are frequently deployed when describing Roxane. Her collection of essays, Bad Feminist, is universally considered the quintessential exploration of modern feminism. NPR named it one of the best books of the year and Salon declared the book “trailblazing.” Her powerful debut novel, An Untamed State, was long listed for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize. In 2017, Roxane released her bestselling memoir, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, which was called “Luminous…intellectually rigorous and deeply moving” by The New York Times. She also released her collection of short stories, Difficult Women. The Los Angeles Times says of the collection, “There’s a distinct echo of Angela Carter or Helen Oyeyemi at play; dark fables and twisted morality tales sit alongside the contemporary and the realistic…”
In 2018, she released Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture, a valuable and searing anthology edited by Roxane; it has been described as “essential reading” and a “call to arms” by its readers. Roxane is currently working on a new project set to be released in 2020.
Roxane co-hosts Hear to Slay with Tressie McMillan Cottom – a podcast with an intersectional perspective on celebrity, culture, politics, art, life, love, and more. She is also a contributing op-ed writer for The New York Times, was the co-editor of PANK, and formerly was the non-fiction editor at The Rumpus. Her writing has appeared in McSweeney’s, The Nation and many other publications. She was the first black woman to ever write for Marvel, writing a comic series in the Black Panther universe called World of Wakanda. Roxane fronts a small army of avid fans on social media and when she finds the time, she dominates the occasional Scrabble tournament.

She has had the opportunity to teach and mentor several students during her tenure in academia. Dr. Brown has also built a strong program of research focused on examining African American resiliency, racial socialization, the intersectional socialization experiences of Black women, and multicultural issues in counseling. Several of her publications have included collaborations and assistance from her graduate and undergraduate mentees. Her most recent publication, in a special issue of Women & Therapy, focused on critical issues related to Black women’s identities and provided strategies for incorporating intersectional pedagogy in clinical training regarding Black women’s mental health. In addition to presenting her research at professional conferences (e.g., American Psychological Association, the Association of Black Psychologists, and the Winter Roundtable), she has consulted with organizations and agencies providing workshops on culturally responsive clinical practices with Black communities, racial injustice and mental health, African American resilience, and coping. Dr. Brown has also served in various leadership positions for the Society of Counseling Psychology. The most enjoyable aspects of Dr. Brown’s career include working with students and trainees, providing mentorship, exposing students to the field of counseling psychology, and sharing in their experiences of professional and personal growth.

Roberto Gonzales is professor of education at HGSE and director of the newly formed Immigration Initiative at Harvard (IIH), a university-wide effort aimed at advancing and promoting interdisciplinary scholarship and intellectual exchange around issues of immigration policy and immigrant communities.

Gonzales’ research examines the effects of legal contexts on the coming of age experiences of vulnerable and hard-to-reach immigrant youth populations. His work has been cited across a broad range of disciplines and has garnered awards from sociology, anthropology, psychology, education, law, and social work.

Lives in Limbo has won eight major book awards, including the Society for the Study of Social Problems C. Wright Mills Award, the American Education Research Association Outstanding Book Award, the Law and Society Association Herbert Jacob Book Award, and the Society for Social Work and Research Book Award. It has also been selected by six universities as a Common Read. In addition, several groups around the country have used the book to train staff, including the Madison Police Department, Teach for America, and 23 public schools. Last year, the book was optioned for theatrical production, and plans are underway for the release of a second edition. In addition, Gonzales’ National UnDACAmented Research Project has surveyed nearly 2,700 undocumented young adults and has carried out 500 in-depth interviews on their experiences following President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He is also teaming up with several colleagues to investigate educator responses to school climate issues stemming from immigration policies. Gonzales’ work has been has been featured in top journals, including the American Sociological Review, Annual Review of Sociology, Current Anthropology, and the Harvard Educational Review as well as in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME magazine, U.S. News & World Report, and Chronicle of Higher Education.
