About the Institute Sessions
Pre-Conference Workshops will provide in-depth sessions to hear presenters provide current research on social identity and developing effective campus programs.
"Social Identity Development 201: The Fourth Decade of Research"
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an overview of identity development theories. We will review a range of theories and approaches to understanding students' social identities, such as developmental stage theories and social constructionist perspectives on identity. We will look at the development of individual identities, such as race, ethnicity, and social class, as well as relationships among multiple social identities. We will also explore some ideas about how identity is related to other domains of development. This workshop is geared toward individuals who have not had formal training in college student identity development theory or who wish to become more familiar with the current body of knowledge about identity development.
"Walking the Talk: Creating Effective Campus Programs about Multiracial Identities"
Fortunately, we know more about multiracial student development than ever before. However, it is imperative that we put theory into practice. This workshop will provide a brief overview about multiracial student identity and an opportunity to discuss issues facing this student population. You will be guided through the creation of an effective campus program, including questions to consider and resources to draw upon as they plan their event. All participants will walk away with elements of a program that they can implement on their campus. In addition to planning your own program, you will have the opportunity to see what other participants have developed in order to generate further ideas and inspiration.
Plenary Sessions will offer participants the opportunity to hear Conference Faculty talk about "big idea" issues. These will be organized as moderated panel discussions around a central topic. Limited time for Q&A will be available for participants at the end of the session.
"Evolving Research on Multiple Identities"
"Evolving Research on Multiracial Identity"
"Campus Best Practices for Multiracial and Multiple Identities"
Concurrent Programs will be selected from among proposals submitted for presentation at the conference by graduate students, faculty, and administrators. In each of the 5 blocks set aside for concurrent programs there will be at least one session covering each of the Conference Tracks (research, assessment, best practices, and professional development).
Small Group Dialogues will allow participants the opportunity to speak with each other and/or Conference Faculty informally about particular topics of concern or interest regarding multiracial and multiple identities. During both of the two session blocks set aside, there will be the opportunity for participants to create their own dialogue forum by signing up at the beginning of each day.
Graduate students will also have the exclusive opportunity to meet with Conference Faculty for discussion and informal networking and mentoring during the last time slot of the conference.
