Keynote Speaker – Germán A. Cadenas, PhD (he/his/él)

Keynote Title: Holding Sanctuary for Immigrant Youth and Families in Educational Spaces. 

The health, wellbeing, and development of youth and young adults from immigrant backgrounds is largely constrained and shaped by environmental factors, such as anti-immigrant policies and climates. In this talk, Germán A. Cadenas will describe the research regarding the negative impact of immigration policies that have been spreading over the past two decades. To respond to these oppressive conditions, Cadenas will describe strategies for holding sanctuary to affirm the health and wellbeing of impacted immigrants in K-12 schools and in higher education. These strategies draw from critical frameworks, liberation psychology and community-based participatory action research. Furthermore, this talk will highlight the partnership between the Rutgers Center for Youth Social Emotional Wellness and the immigrant-led nonprofit, ImmSchools. This university-community-school model seeks to transform educational practices and policies to become safer, more welcoming and supportive of the empowerment of immigrant families.
