Student resistances to multicultural training can interfere with the acquisition of cultural competencies. Scholars contend that White students and those of color can be resistant. However, there is a dearth of research on student-of-color resistances in multicultural training. This poster session presents the results of a study on student-of-color critical incidents of resistance to multicultural training. Recommendations for improving multicultural learning for students and practitioners of color are discussed.
