Biography
Dr. Ramirez does not plan to admit a new clinical graduate student for Fall 2019.
I received my Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin. I completed my internship at Norfolk State Hospital and Outpatient Clinic in Norfolk, Nebraska. I have taught at California State University at Sacramento, Rice University, Pitzer College of the Claremont Colleges, the University of California at Riverside, and the University of California at Santa Cruz.
My current research interests include mental health in Latino families, acculturation, cultural democracy in education and multicultural development assessment and psychotherapy. My areas of expertise include ethnopsychology and cross-cultural psychology.
My previous research interests include person perception, children and adolescents, and international psychology.
In working with students, I aim to (1) provide training in research and assessment with members of culturally diverse populations in the United States, (2) equalize opportunities in society for traditionally underrepresented students and (3) enable students to become multicultural educators, therapists, and ambassadors.
In recruiting graduate students for my lab, I look for a strong commitment to Multicultural Psychology, someone who has taken courses, written papers, and done research with diverse populations.
