Hello. My name is Chalmer Thompson. I am a professor Counseling and Counselor of education in the School of Education. I also coordinate that program. I will soon be a Professor America at University here at IDC. I have been working engineers with a group of colleagues in the department of psychology at ambogo University. That's located in Kampala Uga. And what I do in Kampala with my colleagues is to collaborate on research all different times, mostly to help equip my colleagues with resources to establish themselves as researchers. They are capable of doing so, but when you're not funded, and it becomes a challenge when the needs are very great. There's the need for collaboration, and that's one of the things I do. I'm a liberation psychologist, and I'm also proud nean an award named after Manco Martin Baro. Martin Boro was a seis, theosan, who lived in El Salvador. He was assassinated. He also had lighting that related to liberation psychology and his work is I value very highly, and I am crumbled by the awards given by the American psychological association. My work is not only in gada, but it's also local work. I have always as long as I am a professor been involved in some way, activism, and that activism form of educational opportunities of forming Black fom about african history and about activism, and involved in communities doing it at a grassroots level, also consisted of liberation psychology. And most recently, I started authorization titled I C Pita. And the focus is not only on health care, health young people as well as to deal with living in communities that are violent. One community in particular, indiapos, have the highest rates of murder in city. But to also have with them a strong sense of active informed by really good theory. And as a irritation of vim Court, I am interested in violence that is committed on the basis of the idea of race, racism, the idea of inferiority and inferiority, at ideas that have grown and become something that is large and that has devastated people in the United States and other racialized societies. We have really good theory and that theory is being built, and there's good research about it. And when we use it, we make use of it, especially when we are very determined to do things that are anti racist and anti oppressive. It's often hard to isolate racism by itself because it intersects. How can it not intersect with other aspects of human existence. When we have those tools, we do have them. We can use them and they are best used when we come together when we can have genuine conversation. We can deal with the issues that are before. It really requires a great deal of aid and we are cleaving toward that. Some places have had wins and others haven't, but there is hope and it is the part of what I do is to try to emulate that hope from the various things that I do mentoring. So the activism, the theory liting, the theoretical liting, and the research. All of those things are very important to the work that I do and will continue to do after my retirement. I have retired specifically to be more involved full time in these activities. I thank you for your time.
