Abstract: The Confronting Hegemonic Ideas Speaker Series was proposed to increase academic and professional engagement with ideological diversity for counsellors and psychologists in training. A survey was sent to all 329 attendees of the seven talks in the Speaker Series, and feedback/evaluation surveys were received from over 30% of attendees. Evaluation ratings were extremely positive, and narrative feedback was also generally favourable. Based on the number of individuals in attendance and their variability across current vocation, gender, nationality, race, and ethnicity, it appears that the Speaker Series was successful in widely increasing awareness of heterodox viewpoints and research typically ignored or ostracized in counsellor and psychologist training programs. With this promising evaluation data, it is recommended that other training programs implement similar speaker series for the education and training of counsellors and psychologists.
