<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Dear Colleagues, </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">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></p>
