“…In pastoral psychology, Ramsay (2014) presented an argument for intersectionality as a pedagogical tool to help theologians analyze, engage, and resist oppression and privilege in the classroom and in clinical practice. Ramsay (2014) acknowledged that identity was additive but simultaneous in that social identity categories synthesize and compound creating a nuanced experience for individuals. In developing a pedagogical approach using intersectionality, she identified the need to do so incrementally and to scaffold the material to appropriately disseminate learning material to trainees (Ramsay, 2014).…”

Ramsay (2014) identified the historical context and creation of intersectionality and the significance of the role race played in the lives of the people who created the theory as well as the need for White students to focus on their racial privilege.…”

“…Unlike intersectionality pedagogy, traditional multicultural counselor education research has demonstrated a static view of the meaning of social categories and focused on theories, and it is primarily knowledge-based due to the emphasis on rote memory recall In the mental health field, discussion about intersectionality has led many scholars to encourage its use in the classroom (Cheshire, 2013;Few-Demo, 2014;Ramsay, 2014). Despite use of the theory as historically warranted and effective in different parts of the mental health field, its use in the counseling field as a pedagogical tool is formally absent.…”

The role of intersectionality in counselor education and supervision has not been formally addressed by researchers with regard to the preparation of counselors-in-training. Traditional ways of teaching multicultural and diversity issues in counseling include compartmentalized discussions about social identities but do not incorporate intersectionality despite its significance in describing how individuals move through the world. The method of inquiry used to collect and analyze data was heuristic in nature due to the focus on contextual experiences of the participants as well as the researcher. The results showed how seven Counselor Education and Supervision faculty members' personal and professional experiences influenced their incorporation of intersectionality in their multicultural pedagogy. The extent to which intersectionality plays a role in understanding multicultural counseling education and experiences of faculty members is explored in this article.

“…Financial moral stress and its conflicted values originate in cultural systems. Theories of intersectionality explore how multiple systems of oppression like sexism, racism, classism, heterosexism, and ableism interact from one moment to the next to generate social privilege or disadvantage for persons, families, and communities (Ramsay 2013). One of the hypotheses of the SIFR Initiative is that these systems of oppression interact to blame students for failing to fulfill the North American dream of achievement through individual hard work.…”

Moral stress arising from student debt is defined here as a psycho-spiritual stress response to the North American dream of achievement through individual hard work, which implicitly blames students for educational debt, exacerbating shame about aspects of their identity (their race, social class, gender, sexual orientation). A critical correlational method brings psychological research on moral stress, moral emotions, and religious struggles into dialogue with pastoral theologies of intersectionality and lived theologies of the North American dream in order to construct a compassion-based relational process of theological reflexivity fostering spiritually integrated financial resilience among students, staff, faculty, trustees, and denominational partners at theological schools.Keywords Critical correlational method . Student debt . Moral stress . Moral emotions Money is now the number one cause of stress for people in the United States, according to the American Psychological Association's annual survey on stress (Bethune 2015, p. 38). In response to the particular financial stresses facing future ministers, the Lilly Endowment invited theological schools to respond to these economic challenges, and many schools launched financial literacy programs for their students focusing on personal and organizational financial planning and budgeting.At Iliff School of Theology, Kelly Arora and I proposed a broader systemic intervention that includes all Iliff stakeholders (students, staff, faculty, trustees, and denominational partners). We wanted to go beyond financial literacy to foster what we are calling the Spiritually Integrated Financial Resiliency (SIFR) Initiative in response to the complex and systemic causes and effects of student debt on future clergy and the institutions they serve. We focused on resiliency as a realistic goal in our current economic context because of the sizable debts that our graduates will bring into religious and non-profit vocations where employment opportunities and financial remuneration are limited. For example, the average educational Pastoral Psychol

“…Intersectionality coming out of feminist work may offer some additional hints as to how we can discuss and relate to persons with mental illness. Often used in feminist work to describe “a model that effectively addresses complex individual, relational, structural, and ideological aspects of domination and privilege arising from forms of difference treated oppressively” (Ramsay, 2014: 455), intersectionality can help create the kind of complexity around mental illness that helps us explore the impact it has on persons beyond diagnosis. Thus, the person previously defined by a mental illness becomes a complex individual within a communal system that interacts in constructive and destructive ways, of which one part is the stigma and treatment associated with a mental illness.…”

Ghosts And Guests: A Pastoral Theology Of Belonging For Ministry With Persons With Mental Illness

The purpose of this article is to develop a pastoral theology of belonging which opposes the systemic marginalization of persons with mental illness. In the course of developing this argument I will examine the evidence for understanding human beings as social creatures, which leads to a discussion of why it is difficult in this age to act for the common good. The stigmatization and marginalization that results from neoliberal ideologies is especially prevalent with persons with mental illness, often leading to social exclusion, isolation, and loneliness. The ethic of hospitality described by Christine Pohl provides one source of alleviating this exclusion and isolation, but may not provide enough relief. A pastoral theology and ministry of belonging focused on becoming empathic, creative guests is offered as a corollary to hospitality when relating to persons with mental illness.
