Today, host, Thomas Benjamin, is speaking with Zan Haggerty, a clinician scholar who has a dual role as both doctoral student and a staff member at Rutgers counseling and psychiatric services, also known as CAPS. In maintaining two roles, Zan hears from students about growth areas for Rutgers in the way of DEI while also witnessing it in their own doctor of Social Work program. Zan's belief and perspective has always been that symptoms typically are a result of larger issues within a system. Most of Zan's career has focused on bringing justice to populations and communities that are routinely and systemically marginalized. As a trans non binary person, Zan has seen the immense impact of systems that do not recognize your existence, or demean your value. Above all, Zan's commitment is to create a culture and community of belongingness, where people of every identity feel welcome and represented.
