Sleeping Giants in Adoption:
Power, Privilige, Politics and Class

Since 2000, the Adoption Initiative has provided a forum to encourage and promote a greater understanding of the critical adoption issues affecting our society at large.  By creating a dynamic structure where scholars, professionals, researchers and other individuals interested in advancing our understanding important aspects of the adoption experience are brought together  to discuss their most recent contributions in the field.

The conference is a dynamic and energetic, adoptee-centric academic forum to hear perspectives on issues relevant to our community. This year I am honored to moderate a post-screening panel discussion comprised of the subjects of Linda Goldstein Knowlton’s documentary Somewhere Between.

Jenna Cook, Haley Butler, Jenni “Fang” Lee and Ann Bocutti (in person and via video-feed)
along with the filmmaker, will share their perspectives
on the conference themes through the lens of their own experiences.

If you are a clinician, this is a special opportunity to connect with professional resources that are key to working effectively with adoptive families.  If you are part of the adoption constellation, and interested in learning about how social institutions and policy affect you and your family, this conference will provide much food for thought. Very reasonable accommodations are available on campus. CEUs are available. Register for the conference here!
