Joseph L. White will be the featured speaker at "The Browning of America," the ninth annual multicultural seminar sponsored by Grand Valley State University's Counseling and Career Development Center. The seminar will run from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on Friday, November 4, at the Alumni House at GVSU's Allendale Campus.
As one of the pioneers in the contemporary Black psychology movement, White's lectures and writings have literally reshaped and reframed an entire discipline. His 1970 seminal article in Ebony Magazine, "Toward a Black Psychology," was instrumental in beginning the modern era of African American Psychology.
In addition to 30 years as a professor of psychology, psychiatry and comparative culture at the University of California, Irvine, White has also taught at San Francisco State University and California State University, Long Beach. His most recent book is "Black Man Emerging: Facing the Past and Seizing a Future in America" (1998).
Cost to attend the seminar is $80. Space is limited; call 616-331-3266 to register.
