2019 APA President-Elect Candidate Statements Submitted to Division 35

-
Following Society procedures, we submitted a request for statements from  each of the five candidates for President-elect of APA, requesting them if they could send Division 35, a 500-word statement that summarizes their track record on women’s issues and their vision of how they would incorporate the mission and values of Division 35 in the office if elected. The letter also stated that the Executive Committee will review the statements and make judgments about endorsement based on a number of criteria, e.g., track record on women’s issues which may be demonstrated in a variety of ways (service to APA, Division 35, contributions to scholarships, science, practice, etc.); track record of inclusiveness and fostering the empowerment of women . This may be demonstrated by involvement in issues related to ethnic minorities, ability status, sexual orientation, and other dimensions of social identity and difference that can potentially divide women from each other and from men.  ...

We do not believe in this lie.  As three women, whose communities are directly impacted by the pain of this targeted violence, historically and contemporarily, we denounce the characterization of the uprisings across this nation and the globe, as anything less than the...

2020 President-Elect: Dr. Carrie Castañeda-Sound

Congratulations to Dr. Carrie Castañeda-Sound, who has been elected as SPW’s next President-Elect! Below is a statement from Dr. Castañeda-Sound. --------- I want to thank you for electing me to serve Division 35 as president-elect. I am both honored and humbled to lead a division that has been my touchstone within APA since 2007. For those of you who I have not met, I wanted to share a little about my involvement with SPW. I was the secretary and then the president of Section 3 (Concerns of Latinas) beginning in 2007 until 2012. The last year and a half I have served as SPW’s secretary and I have enjoyed working closely with our elected EC. In addition to my many mentors within SPW,  my mother and grandmothers taught me valuable lessons about feminist leadership and advocacy. In fact, I remember my great-Aunt telling me that I didn’t have time to be shy and to not fear speaking up. She said, “Mija, there’s too much work to be done.”  As we can see from the recent uprising...
