Alumna and doctoral student win race, ethnicity award for research on Puerto Rican communities
Cristalís Capielo Rosario (Ph.D. ’16), an alumna of the College of Education’s Department of Counseling and Human Development Services, and Elizabeth Bautista Cárdenas (M.Ed. ’18), a doctoral student in the College’s counseling psychology program, recently received the 2019 Outstanding Contribution to Scholarship on Race and Ethnicity Award from Division 17’s Section on Ethnic and Racial Diversity (SERD).
“It is important that researchers work with marginalized and oppressed communities and create space in academia so these narratives can be told,” said Bautista Cárdenas. “The narratives of Puerto Rican people have not been represented in the media accurately and the inadequate support of the government has not been acknowledged fully by the government or masses.”
