Feminism and multi-cultural issues are mandated as a topic and format in every class." (from POWR-L) http://www.antiochsb.edu/programs/programs.html CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF INTEGRAL STUDIES San Francisco, CA The Women's Spirituality M.A. and Ph.D. program in Philosophy and Religion at CIIS is the first accredited graduate program of its kind in the world. We seek an embodied scholarship inclusive of the arts, spiritual expression, and cultural activism. Inspired by grassroots women's spirituality and feminist and womanist movements of recent decades, the program offers an interdisciplinary, inter-faith curriculum that celebrates the international presence, gifts, talents, and contributions of women of faith in many parts of the global community. Through its multicultural curriculum and study abroad opportunities, the program cultivates learning that integrates feeling, imagination, expressive, and cognitive skills, spiritual insight, personal healing, and community service. Degrees may be completed either residentially, or through a flexible formats option that includes weekends, online, workshops, and/or summer sessions. Women's Spirituality at CIIS is linked to human rights, ecological, and other peace and social justice movements that seek to cherish and change the world. One of the program's primary professional goals is to empower women and men to participate more fully in the global culture of the 21st century. Thus, the program encourages embodied scholarship that encompasses feeling, imagination, expressive and cognitive skills, spiritual insight, and social and cultural activism. It nurtures a student's creativity through its use of the visual, literary, performing, and ritual arts. The program also fosters a student's appreciation of diversity. It does this through its study and celebration of women's experiences and contributions throughout history and across cultures.

Our curriculum and pedagogy address the politics of gender, culture, race and sexuality. We seek to attract and educate a diverse group of students who will bring to their work a conviction and sensitivity that comes from their own experience." http://www.newcollege.edu/gradpsych/index.cfm CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGY AT ALAMEDA. Alameda, CA "As with some other schools, the entire faculty isn't necessarily feminist friendly, but we are a growing and supported force on the campus.

Those campuses have been in the forefront of the development and implementation of cross-cultural psychology programs.

Flores is Assistant Professor of Education, Primary Area: Counseling Psychology, Co-Director, Center for Multicultural Research, Training, and Consultation Research Interests: The career development of women and people of color, particularly Mexican American individuals. My research program focuses on the educational and career development of Mexican Americans. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the decision-making process and identifying those factors that facilitate and impede their achievement. I am particularly concerned with Mexican American adolescents and young adults because this is a time when they are making educational and career decisions that may significantly impact their future. I am also interested in the applications of social cognitive career theory to the career development and educational achievement of Mexican Americans. Other interests include multicultural counseling and training and gender issues.

The School of Psychology has Master's and Doctorate programs in most areas of psychology.” (POWR-L) “I have taught for Walden since 2000. I am vocal and open about being a feminist psychologist and a feminist therapist. For the past few years, I have presented at their face-to-face residencies on Feminist Therapy. The sessions have been well-attended. There has been much positive feedback from students. In the past, some of the faculty (male) were not open to feminist conceptualizations and theories. However, the current crop of faculty appear to be feminist friendly. Qualitative research is valued. The students at Walden represent a wide-range of abilities and viewpoints. In the advanced courses I teach, I am open about my viewpoints and my feminist orientation. Many of my students are just as open about their conservative views. As of yet, we have not clashed. Additionally, it is a distance ed university-- most of the courses are on-line. For doctoral programs there are required face-to-face "residencies". It is a fairly flexible degree program for working adults and also has many students (and some faculty) who are in other countries.
