The mission of the National Multicultural Conference and Summit (NMCS)
is to convene students, practitioners, and scholars in psychology and
related fields to inform and inspire multicultural theory, research,
and practice. We envision multiculturalism as inclusive of experiences
related to ethnicity/race, sexual orientation, gender, physical
ability, social class, age, and other social identities. The objective
of the 2009 NMCS is to promote social justice and psychological
wellbeing for historically marginalized communities, as well as to
explore links and tensions between social justice and multicultural
psychology. To this end, participants will exchange knowledge, engage
in dialogue, develop skills, and honor the wisdom within our fields
and cultures.
