<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">Dear colleagues,<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">My name is Christian Chan, and I am a doctoral candidate in the Counseling PhD program at The George Washington University. Under the direction of Dr. Sam Steen, I am currently working on my dissertation
study entitled The Lived Intersectional Experiences of Privilege and Oppression of Queer Men of Color in Counselor Education Doctoral Programs: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to fulfill the degree requirements for the PhD in Counseling at The
George Washington University. The purpose of this study is to understand how queer men of color make sense of their experiences of privilege and oppression in their doctoral programs in Counselor Education and Supervision. This study has the potential to inform
the evolving development of intersectionality scholarship; navigating multiple overlapping forms of oppression; advances for the social context of higher education, especially doctoral education; and critical thinking on the application of multiculturalism
and social justice domains in the 2016 Standards of the Council for Accreditation on Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).<span></span></span></p>
