Fulbright Canada Research Chair in Community Mental Health, Adler University
Adler University (Chicago, IL) will host a visiting scholar who is working in the field of mental health with marginalized communities. The University’s namesake, Alfred Adler, was one of the first practitioners to write about the social determinants of health and of mental health. His work undergirds the University’s commitment to social change by graduating socially responsible practitioners, engaging communities, and advancing social justice; we do so by graduating clinical psychologists, counsellors, art therapists, public policy advocates and organizational psychologists. The successful candidate will engage with faculty and students from these various fields and, possibly, one or more of our various community partners who are critical to the scholar/practitioner model which guides our work. Some guest lecturing will be scheduled in addition to a Fulbright Public Lecture.
Specializations: Counselling Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Public Policy and Administration, Art Therapy, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Environmental Health, Health Policy, Child & Youth Mental Health, and Social Justice.
