The presenters will facilitate a collaborative discussion to explore the development and implementation of anti-oppressive and liberatory research labs in counselor education. We will examine how creating, leading, and participating in anti-oppressive and liberatory research labs plays a critical role in liberatory praxis and the development of the next generation of anti-oppressive researchers. Participants will gain insights into anti-oppressive and liberatory research practices and practical strategies for integrating socially just research into their research labs.
