HEED UNIVERSITY Humanistic Education
through the External Degree Announces its Second New York Conference:“The Psychodynamics of Racism: Can We Be Cured?” Sunday, October 6, 2002 9:00-9:15am Introduction to the Morning Session: Ruth S. Meyers, Ph.D. Welcoming Remarks: Susan Jakubowicz, Ph.D., Director Speaker: Cheryl L. Franks, Ph.D. How does racism damage Whites as well as people of color? When we look at the impact of racism not only on its victims but also on the beneficiaries of racist systems, we find a new perspective from which to examine the psychosocial problem of racism. Dr. Franks's presentation centers on the mental health, developmental, and organizational impact of racism on Whites. She presents a rationale for studying White racial identity and White privilege, examines the meaning of Whiteness for the mental health professions, and briefly summarizes the five areas of White studies in the literature. Moreover, she views racial identity theory as a part of human development and mental health, focuses particularly on White racial identity theory, and identifies therapeutic relationships based on racial identity status.

Cheryl L. Franks, Ph.D. is the Associate Director of Field Education at Columbia University of Social Work, where she teaches the Issues of Diversity course and the International Immersion Seminar. For two decades, she has provided consultations to organizations in multicultural organizational development, and to the counseling professions in the development of cross-cultural competence. Her dissertation, “On Becoming White: The Relationship of White Racial Identity Development and Self Esteem,” contributed to the literature on the impact of race and culture on mental health and development.
About the Panelists Lawrence Chua is the author of Gold
by the Inch, a novel, and editor of the anthology Collapsing New Buildings. He
is the recipient of awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New
York Foundation for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts.
His work has appeared in The
Nation, Artforum, Rolling Stone, Vibe, Transition, and many other
publications. He teaches at New York University. Carol Chehade is a writer and activist, whose book Big
Little White Lies: Our Attempt to White-Out America explores how Whiteness
deceives us into maintaining racism. An
Arab American, Ms. Chehade has had intimate experience with bigotry directed toward her community, and racism that comes from her community. She
believes that any discussion of racism cannot be limited to people with white
skin: “In a racist society, where racial labels are mentally restricted to
being either Black or White, non-Black people of color are allowed to be
White, or at the very least White-like.”
Her book argues that as recipients of White privilege, non-Black people
of color also contribute to racism against Black people. Samuel Cotton, Ph.D. is a native New Yorker and received his doctorate from Columbia University. He holds a Master of Science from Columbia University with a major in social research and a Master of Philosophy from Columbia University. Dr. Cotton is a documentary filmmaker and author.
