Hannah Wallerstein is a doctoral candidate in CUNY’s clinical psychology program. She holds a bachelor’s degree in English from Wesleyan University. After receiving her bachelor’s degree, Hannah worked as a community organizer in Chicago for three years, where she helped to implement restorative justice programs in public schools, founded a theatre of the oppressed working group, led intergenerational popular education workshops at the Chicago Freedom School, and worked on a city-wide anti-White-supremacy initiative. Finding through activism that the personal impact of structural violence is too often overlooked, Hannah decided to pursue a degree in clinical psychology to further explore the place of healing and mental-health care. As a scholar, she is interested in individual and collective responses to trauma, the psychological dynamics of social justice movement building, and in pushing the dialogue between psychodynamic frameworks and a politics of human rights and liberation. As a practitioner, she hopes to form a community health collective rooted in anti-oppressive principles, which offers a range of healing and health-related services at sliding scale prices.
