Deepa's discovery: An examination of intersectionality when multiple identities collide - managing family roles, doctoral work, and clashing eurocentric worldviews

This chapter seeks to bring awareness to the multiple identities that international (graduate/doctoral counseling) students bring to college and university campuses. The multiple identities are examined through the intersectionality paradigm and the RESPECTFUL model, and apply the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC). It is intended to help counselors-in-training, counselor educators, supervisors, and administrators examine current intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, community, public, international/global views, and potential roles related to working with clients/students/peers who comprise our growing international student population.
