The Department of Psychiatry is delighted to welcome Norma L. Day-Vines, PhD, as our first Distinguished Scientist Lecture series speaker of the academic year on September 20, 2024.
Dr. Day-Vines serves as Associate Dean for Diversity and Faculty Development in the School of Education at Johns Hopkins University and maintains a faculty appointment as Professor of Counseling and Educational Studies. Prior to joining the Johns Hopkins faculty, she held tenured faculty positions at The College of William and Mary and Virginia Tech. Dr. Day-Vines’ research examines the importance of multiculturalism as an indispensable tool in the delivery of culturally competent counseling and educational services for clients and students from marginalized groups. More specifically, she specializes in the measurement of attitudes towards discussing the contextual dimensions of race, ethnicity and culture with ethnic minority clients/students and the identification of strategies that reduce barriers to well-being. She has consulted with school districts nationwide to address diversity, equity, and inclusion issues, and her findings have appeared in leading counseling journals such as the Journal of Counseling and Development, the Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, the Journal of Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, and Professional School Counseling. Dr. Day-Vines is the recipient of numerous awards and honors recognizing her work including the 2013 Exemplary Diversity Leadership Award by the Association of Multicultural Counseling and Development, the 2018 Excellence in Teaching Award at Johns Hopkins University, and in 2019, she was awarded a Presidential Citation from the American Counseling Association, in recognition of her scholarship on multiculturalism.
