Kevin Nadal is an author, activist, comedian, [1] and Distinguished Professor of Psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. [2] He is a researcher and expert on the effects of microaggressions on racial/ethnic minorities and LGBTQ people. [3] [4]
Nadal received Bachelor's degrees in psychology and political science from the University of California, Irvine, a Master's degree in counseling from Michigan State University, as well as a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Columbia University.
From 2014 to 2017, Nadal was appointed as the executive director of CLAGS: the Center for LGBTQ Studies (formerly known as Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies). [4] In the organization, Nadal also co-founded the Division on Filipino Americans. [5] Nadal is a national trustee of the Filipino American National Historical Society. [6]
Nadal's book Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice (Wiley, 2011) [7] was noted for being the first comprehensive book on Filipino American mental health issues. [8] [9] [10] Nadal has gone on to release other books on this and related topics. [11] [12]
Nadal's research and writings concentrate on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and the concept of racial microaggressions, and other microaggressions or subtle forms of discrimination towards racial/ethnic minorities, women, and LGBTQ populations. [13] He created and published the Racial and Ethnic Microaggressions Scale in the Journal of Counseling Psychology in 2011. [14] Nadal has also researched "sexual orientation microaggressions" [15] In 2013, Nadal released That's So Gay!' Microaggressions and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community. [16] [17]
Nadal was raised in Fremont, California. [23] During his high school years, Nadal reports being bullied for being gay. [24] Since 2010, he has become vocal about ending bullying in schools. [25]
Nadal has written or spoken about the need for Filipino Americans to address colorism within their families and communities, [26] the need for people to challenge homophobia and transphobia, [27] the experiences of invisibility and marginalization of Filipino Americans and other "brown Asians" in the general Asian American community,[ citation needed] the racial microaggressions LGBTQ people of color experience in dating and sexual relationships, [28] the systemic colorblindness and marginalization of people of color in queer studies, [29] as well as anti-black racism. [30]
In 2007, Nadal gained attention with several media outlets when he started an online petition against ABC Studios for negative statements made about Philippine medical schools on the television show Desperate Housewives. [31] [32]
In 2014, Nadal formed the LGBTQ Scholars of Color National Network as a way to provide support for LGBTQ people of color in academia.[ citation needed]
In 2016, Nadal and his colleagues wrote an open letter to the New York Times for their lack of Filipino American representation in a video segment that described Filipino American experiences. [33] [34] [35]
Nadal was also very vocal about addressing racism and Islamophobia in response to the Pulse tragedy in Orlando. [36]
In 2017, American Psychologist published Nadal's "Let's Get In Formation": On Becoming a Psychologist-Activist in the 21st Century, where he argued of the ethical responsibility for psychologists to "combat oppression on individual, interpersonal, group, and institutional levels." [37]
