“…Incorporating multiculturalism and diversity into the educational process has become a major challenge not only for individual educators and supervisors but for the entire educational system as well. There is little doubt that the curriculum of psychology is woefully inadequate in its coverage of racial and ethnic minorities, women, sexual minorities, and the disabled (Chin & Russo, 1998;Conti & Kimmel, 1993;Fine & Asch, 1988;Madden & Hyde, 1998;Simoni, 1996). As a result there is the danger that culturally different students may feel oppressed and alienated or may develop a perspective that evaluates their own cultural group, gender, or sexual orientation as being less than desirable (Highlen, 1994; D. W. Sue & Sue, 1999).…”

T he National Multicultural Conference and Summit (NMCS) was held in January 1999 in Newport Beach, California. Hosted by the American Psychological Association's (APA's) Division 17, Counseling Psychology; Division 35, Society for the Psychology of Women; and Division 45, the Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues, the two-day series of keynote addresses, symposia, and forums brought together some of the most well-known multicultural scholars and practitioners in the field to (a) examine state-of-the-art issues in ethnic minority psychology; (b) facilitate difficult dialogues on race, gender, and sexual orientation; (c) forge multicultural alliances for political action and advocacy; and (d) develop strategies for multicultural organizational change. The events of the summit are considered historic and revolutionary for several reasons.First, the idea for the NMCS arose from the election of the first Asian American president of APA (Richard Suinn) and the realization that five other persons of color were elected presidents of their respective APA divisions (Divisions 17, 35, 36, 44, and 45). l As individuals were chosen for leadership positions, we were presented with a three-year window of opportunity to make a meaningful difference in ethnic minority issues in the profession of psychology. For many years, the members of Divisions 17, 35, and 45 have been influential in addressing issues of racism, sexism, heterosexism, and other forms of prejudice and discrimination. Each of us saw a clear need to spearhead change by bringing together outstanding psychologists who have worked in the areas of race relations, diversity, and multiculturalism. Never before in the history of APA has such a large number of multicultural experts been brought together to assess the current state of psychology with respect to its relevance to culturally different populations. In addition to the presenters, over 500 other psychologists and graduate students from throughout the nation attended the event.

“…Stigma as a conceptual tool has been used since Goffman's study by researchers to examine the exclusion of a wide range of social groups labelled as other and treated as tainted by those who are 'normal', perhaps most extensively in relation to mental illness (Corrigan, Markowitz, and Watson 2004;Dinos et al 2004;Rüsch, Angermeyer, and Corrigan 2005), HIV/AIDS (Castro and Farmer 2005;Parker and Aggleton 2003;Alonzo and Reynolds 1995) and disability (Kleinman et al 1995;Schneider 1988;Fine and Asch 1988). Scholars have also looked at the stigmatisation of migrants, usually in receiving countries and usually those stigmatised not just because of their immigration status, but also because they are engaged in sex work (Lévy and Lieber 2008;Scambler 2007;Pheterson 1993) or HIV positive (Koku 2010).…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Many, if not most, of those who are forcibly expelled from the country to which they have migrated will not settle in the country to which they have been returned but will leave again. A recent article examined some of the reasons why this should be so. It was argued that in addition to the factors that had caused the original migration, such as fear of persecution, continuing conflict, insecurity, poverty and lack of opportunity, deportation creates at least three additional reasons that make re-migration the most likely outcome. These were debt, family commitments and the shame of failure and or 'contamination' leading to stigmatisation. In this article, we explore the stigma of failure and of contamination attached to those deported, and the ways in which they respond to and manage this stigmatisation, including by re-migrating. We use Goffman's concept of stigma and the refinement offered by to further nuance understanding of the impact of deportation. Permanent repository link

“…At the heart of this debate is the need to balance an individual's freedom to take risks with the need for enforced use of safety measures. As well, a question remains whether such a requirement would represent a form of discrimination against people with mobility impairments [24][25][26]. Such stigmatization may have a psychological impact on users and may lead to feelings of anxiety and depression, decreased device use and, ultimately, reduced participation in daily activity [27].…”

Abstract-Although power mobility has many potential benefits for users, power mobility incidents and accidents are a serious concern. To date, little research has explored power mobility safety, and no gold standard exists to determine whether the user is a safe driver. As a possible alternative to a facility unilaterally imposing regulations on power mobility users, we conducted a research project in which power mobility users and other stakeholders used the Delphi method to develop guidelines for power mobility use within a residential facility setting. This article presents the overarching principles for power mobility use and noteworthy items from the safety guidelines that participants developed. These findings highlight the safety issues that are encountered in residential care settings and suggest some strategies to deal with them.
