The transformative opportunities inherent in multicultural and social justice competence are explored both conceptually and empirically in nine articles in the July special issue of the Journal of Counseling & Development on integrating the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies into practice, research and advocacy. In the featured article, “Carrying the Burden: Counselors of Color’s Experiences of Microaggressions in Counseling,” authors Susan Branco and Hannah Bayne report on the real-life ways that privileged identity and status are experienced in the counseling relationship. Their article stimulates an important discussion around navigation of microaggressions by both counselors of color and White counselors, and the ways in which counselors can and should work to reduce racial microaggressions.
