One of our more critical courses in the counselor education curriculum is the multicultural counseling course. Many programs work to infuse competency and social justice training into the whole of a program, yet most of the material is still taught in one course. As an instructor of the multicultural course for several years, and a qualitative researcher, I have bridged the two to create a course that has felt exploratory and open. I have used multiple research techniques to allow students to explore the critical components of the course. This session will share the design of this course.
