Ableism in Educational Systems

Hello! My name is Kristen and I am a first year here at Antioch! Writing about my ism and learning more about my social position has been very rewarding and an influential experience. I am a white heterosexual female who grew up in a middle class family in Hawaii. I am also a dual citizen with the US and Canada, and I do not have any indiginous heritage. I appreciated being able to look at my own social location in relation to others, and think about how it would influence my future clinical practice and how I can be the most socially aware psychologist I can be!
