Tania Israel, Ph.D. presents at the 2015 Teachers College Annual Winter Roundtable at Columbia University.

Psychologists are equipped with skills and expertise that can make them effective social justice advocates, however, few receive training or guidance that enables them to achieve their potential in this area. Dr. Israel offers an inspiring narrative of her journey as a researcher and advocate, including entry into community-based participatory research, training law enforcement on LGBTQ issues, and culminating in an opportunity to present at a Congressional briefing. Dr. Israel is a co-editor of the Handbook for Social Justice in Counseling Psychology: Leadership, Vision, and Action.
