Quote from the Episode
“Maybe students never had someone who took the time to model the way that you express yourself. Is there anything really wrong in how they express themselves to begin with?”
About our Guest
Dr. Gabriela Livas Stein
Dr. Gabriela Livas Stein is Professor and Head of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her research focuses on cultural resilience in communities of color – especially Latinx youth and their families. She credits her incredible mentors for helping her see what was possible, what she was capable of, and making room for her to grow!
About the CAMINOS Lab
The CAMINOS Lab attempts to identify individual, familial, and cultural processes that place minoritized youth at risk for maladaptive psychological and educational outcomes, with a focus on immigrant and Latinx populations. We also seek to understand the individual, familial, and cultural processes that serve to promote positive development and mitigate risk. The lab’s research questions are grounded in cultural models of child development (e.g., Integrative Model; García Coll et al., 1996) and tenets of developmental psychopathology (Sroufe & Rutter, 1984). The integration of these perspectives can deepen our understanding of risk and resilience processes in Latinx and other families of color to inform how best to deliver community-based prevention and intervention programs that address the mental health and cultural needs of these communities. Our work broadly focuses on cultural values, discrimination, ethnic-racial socialization, and interventions in Latinx and other minoritized communities.
