RTE S2E5:¡Chévere! The Importance of Intersectional Research and Academics

Race Through Education

In this week’s episode, we chat with Dr. Roberto L. Abreu about the intersections of Latinidad and LGTBQ+ identities at the university level and the implications that this has on research development. We also delve into how this type of scholarship supports burgeoning scholars. Finally, we learn about the work being done at the ¡Chévere! Lab.

Roberto L. Abreu, PhD, (he/him/él) is assistant professor of counseling psychology and the director of the Collective Healing and Empowering VoicEs through Research and Engagement (¡Chévere!) Lab in the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida (UF). He is also affiliate faculty in the Center for Gender, Sexualities and Women’s Studies Research and the Center for Latin American Studies at UF. Dr. Abreu’s research explores ways in which marginalized communities resist systemic oppression and promote bienestar colectivo (collective well-being), with a particular focus on Latinx communities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people, and the intersection of Latinx and LGBTQ people and communities. Dr. Abreu’s work is guided by decolonial principles, social justice values, person–environment interactions, growth, and resistance.
