U.S. Nationalism and Immigrants from Majority-Muslim Countries

Hi, my name is Heather, and I’m a PsyD student at Antioch University in Seattle. I joined DSPAI in the fall of 2020. I became interested in this group after watching two group members (now graduated) present on privilege awareness. I knew from that moment that I wanted to be a part of a group that talked openly about the privileges afforded to them by their social locations. Our weekly meetings have been a supportive environment where I can process current events and learn to be a more effective advocate and a better ally. I’m currently interested in immigration, disability rights, reproductive justice, and looking at positive psychology through a decolonial lens. I have several projects that I’m currently working on that have stemmed from these interests.
