You're invited to watch a recording of the GSEHD Master Class led by Assistant Professors of Counseling and Human Development, Dr. Mina Attia and Dr. Bagmi Das.
Laws protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals are not well-established in many countries; thus, individuals are persecuted, imprisoned, and sometimes sentenced to death based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. For these reasons, some LGBTQ+ individuals seek refuge by immigrating to the United States and seeking asylum. In this presentation, Dr. Mina Attia and Dr. Bagmi Das will discuss their research, published in The Counseling Psychologist, on the experiences of this population. Through a phenomenological approach framed by Intersectionality Theory, they sought to understand the post-traumatic growth and resilience of LGBTQ+ asylum seekers. Drs. Attia and Das will discuss their findings and provide implications for clinical practice and counselor education.
