“The Invisible Hand of Whiteness and Forced Migration”
with

Rossanna Echegoyén, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
in conversation with
Alpana Chodhoury (OYP graduate) and Naomi Pharr (current OYP candidate)

February 16, 2024
6:00pm to 7:30pm
on Zoom

Rossanna Echegoyén, LCSW will discuss themes of her class, The Invisible Hand of Whiteness and Forced Migration, which explores the long-term psychological effects of colonization and imperialism in Latin America. The “invisible hand of whiteness” underscores hegemonic forces around the world, specifically in Latin America, where white supremacy (the invisible hand) subjugates and displaces people in their own country. Ms. Echegoyén will present a clinical case related to forced migration.

Please join us to learn all about our virtual online program that has been developed with intentionality from an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens by placing thoughtful attention to historical trauma and social realities that shape the human experience emphasizing the influence of the social context and dynamics of power and inequality on intrapsychic and interpersonal processes. The program features teaching core technical components of psychoanalytic psychotherapy focusing on unconscious processes and the intersections of race with class, ethnicity, culture, sexuality and gender; immigration; transgenerational transmission of trauma; climate change; and current socio-political issues. All classes are held on Zoom on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 10:00pm (Eastern Time).
