Psychology as a discipline is facing unprecedented socio-political pressures for systemic change in the breadth and depth of our theories and conceptualizations, scholarship, training, and pathways to the profession with a focus on anti-oppression, anti-racism, decolonization, critical psychology, diversity and intersectionality, social justice, and human rights.
This special issue seeks to honour and highlight the voices of, multiple ways of knowing, and systemic conceptualizations that extend our traditional methodologies and include, but are not limited to, Indigenous, Black, racialized, international, intercultural, and minoritized perspectives.
Potential manuscripts could focus on:
- the impact of identity on mental health
- equity, diversity, and inclusion models of training in psychology
- identity-based discrimination and harassment in the workplace
- everyday racism and microaggressions
- different ways in which ableism manifests in psychological practice, training, and research
- decolonizing ethical frameworks
- nonwestern conceptualizations of psychological phenomena
- Indigenous ways of knowing
- intergenerational trauma in various racialized and minoritized communities
- the needs and experiences of newcomer communities, and so on
We encourage submissions from all disciplines of psychology and affiliated fields. We hope these will include representation from authors with both lived and scholarly experience as Indigenous, racialized, and/or minoritized individuals.
