In this first season finale episode, we’re doing things a little differently. Arlene gets comfy over Zoom with three good friends from university, and they get real about the experiences they had, from growing up in the Caribbean, to completing degrees at Illinois Tech in Chicago and moving on to the world of work, navigating new careers as International students. This is part one of a two-part series you definitely do not want to miss! This is the REAL DEAL.
Our guests:

Dr. Drexler James, PhD
A St. Lucian native, Drexler’s interest in Psychology as a young child has led him to a career in Social Psychology. He is currently on the tenure track as an assistant professor at Denison University, where he aims to advance theories of social stigma in ways that will help reduce the persistent health disparities that exist in our society. Dr James is particularly interested in how race and stigma operate from the perspective of both the perceivers and the targets.
