Co-constructing a collaborative dialogue with the audience, the presenter will discuss findings from six superordinate themes associated with strategies for systematically enhancing the praxis of counselor education.

• Articulate key insights emanating from lived experiences of Queer Men of Color in counselor education doctoral programs.
• Foster collaborative ideas for critical thinking, pedagogical tools, and social context to integrate multiculturalism and social justice in counseling practice and counselor education.
