Every social ill in the US that causes suffering and neglect is directly related to white people’s apparent need to inflict the most degradation possible upon Black people. Even at the cost of inflicting the same suffering and death on white people. #healthcare #education #criminaljustice

I see all the propaganda telling people not to go to college and for academics to quit, and I wonder who benefits most from a less knowledgable people…

Does anyone remember the first time you read Return of The King? The scene where Théoden gives his speech to the Riders of Rohan before the battle for Gondor… The film adaptation was amazing, but reading it… Éomer actually gave death verse.

📣 Excited to share our latest @apajournals.bsky.social publication on addressing racism in psychological science. 🔗 psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/... Honored to collaborate with @nchavez.bsky.social, @mindfield-drj.bsky.social, and Dr. Helms, scholars dedicated to building a more humane future.

Adames, H. Y., Chavez-Dueñas, N. Y., Jernigan, M. M., & Helms, J. E. (2024). Racism-conscious reflexivity in qualitative research: A practical methodological framework. Qualitative Psychology. Advance online publication. https://doi.org/10.1037/qup0000315

Abstract:
Advancing research methodologies grounded in critical theories and fostering scientific knowledge conscious of racism require thoughtfulness, integrity, rigor, and an unwavering commitment to racial justice. It demands that we, as researchers, pause and reflect—that we consider the multitude of ways that our racial socialization, biases, and all levels of racism (e.g., systemic, interpersonal, internalized) influence the entire research process. This article advocates for qualitative researchers to take a deliberate pause and engage in thoughtful reflection about racism, racial identity, power, and bias, as well as the importance and ethics of questioning methodologies to help prevent the creation of racially oppressive scholarship. To achieve this goal, we present the racism-conscious reflexivity in research (RCR) framework, which invites researchers to actively pay attention to how (a) racial identity schemas, (b) racialized cognitive and emotional biases, (c) information processing strategies, and (d) social interactions between and among research team members shape all aspects of a research study. The RCR framework also considers how these four areas influence how researchers respond to and think about racism, its influence on people’s experiences, and its operations in research methodologies. Coding scenarios are used to illustrate the application of the RCR framework in the analysis and interpretation process of qualitative research. Methodological guidance is provided.

I just had a pretty visceral memory of a recurring back-and-forth between me and a pretty nasty clinical director. At one point in my career I commuted over an hour to my job. It was a salary job, so time sheets weren’t a thing. But I usually got in 15min after the place opened…

If you are a counseling psychologist, you should get on this list! If you want to understand the strength-based, more social justice oriented, scientist-practitioner tradition within psychology, you should follow the psychologists on this list!

Facts! But for the folks needing help understanding this, ask yourself: “Are the people you listen to in happy, fulfilling relationships?” “And if so, do they act the same off the mic as do on the mic, or are they just playing a character?”
