Career Development Interventions for Social Justice Summary

Career Development Interventions for Social Justice: Addressing Needs across the Lifespan in Educational, Community, and Employment Contexts by Margo A. Jackson

Career development interventions can serve as one means to constructively address the problems of inequitable access to educational and occupational options and achievement that promote health and well-being across the lifespan. Career Development Interventions for Social Justice: Addressing Needs across the Lifespan in Educational, Community, and Employment Contexts offers practical examples of career development interventions that may be adapted to constructively address social justice needs at various points across the lifespan (ranging from elementary school ages to older adults) in educational, community, and employment contexts. Tailored to the needs and context of a specific underserved group of individuals, each intervention integrates relevant career development theory, research, ethical considerations, elements of sound program design and evaluation, and professional competencies for best practices in multicultural career counseling and social justice advocacy. Unique to this book are the contributions of authors, including practicing professional counselors and psychologists, who share their personal reflections of self-awareness from privileged and marginalized identities regarding potential biases and resources of relevance to their chapter's intervention. In the process of designing and providing career development services for individuals from marginalized groups, it is imperative for counselors to continually reflect on and consult about their own biases and resources for empathic understanding and effectiveness with those whom we serve.

Career Development Interventions for Social Justice Reviews

This text rises to the challenge of providing students and practitioners with resources that infuse theoretically informed career development practices with social justice values. Outstanding features include the careful attention to intersectionality and diversity, interventions for each stage of the lifespan, and the authors' personal reflections on how context and identity have shaped their professional development and career practices. -- Ellen Hawley McWhirter, Ph.D., Ann Swindells Professor of Counseling Psychology, University of Oregon
Although there has been significant discussion in the career counseling literature about the need to adapt career interventions for marginalized populations, there have been few examples of how to do this. This book meets that need by providing clear instructions on effective interventions to assist specific groups across the lifespan. Career counselors need this book! -- Susan C. Whiston, professor emeritus, Indiana University
