"Epiphanies are sudden realizations or flashes of recognition. Although their significance may be apparent immediately or only in retrospect, these are the moments that give depth and meaning to our lives. This workshop by Dr. Christine Downing explored the role played in our lives by such transformative events, beginning with our earliest childhood memories, whether consoling or terrifying, and then going on to honor the life-changing impact of intense engagements with others.

What I believe to be the heart of the Community Psychology, Liberation Psychology, and Ecopsychology specialization is the fieldwork process where students are “asked to listen actively to the kinds of cultural, community, or ecological issues” that call them to service and enaged in those communities. In each of the first two years of this specialization, students are asked to work with the insights and methods of depth psychology in a community setting. This setting provides a window through which one can study the interdependent relation between psyche, culture, and environment. Serving as a rite of passage for students in the program is the poster and/or multi-media presentation showcasing their work with these different communities and organizations.
“Searching for My Identity”; “Deportation of Mexican-born U.S. Veterans”; “Gentrification and the Future of Oakland, California”; “Druze Men’s Perspectives on Violence Against Women” were just a few titles of fieldwork presentations presented by Pacifica students on December 16, 2014.
To share this exquisite work of students and the communities they engage with I have provided a list of each presentation. To read more download the list of presentations complete with full abstracts.
