How would #psychology look through the lens of @michelamassimi.bsky.social's Perspectival Realism? In her new paper, Suilin Lavelle defends the pursuit of Majority World psychological frameworks and experiments beyond WEIRD biases 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philsky #psysky #cogsci

Opening page of a 2026 European Journal for Philosophy of Science article titled “The pursuitworthiness of majority world psychology,” by Jane Suilin Lavelle.

Abstract
The recent pluralist turn in philosophy of science claims that we ought to support and maintain multiple epistemic frameworks for learning about phenomena. This position is especially clear in Massimi’s Perspectival Realism, which argues that it is only by having more than one perspective on a phenomenon that the potential for reliable knowledge about it emerges. This paper applies Perspectival Realism to the case of psychology—with a focus on developmental psychology—arguing first, that the discipline has pursued frameworks almost exclusively within a Minority World perspective, and second, that the lack of alternative perspectives precludes the field from knowing if its methods of knowledge production are reliable. To redress this problem, it advocates the pursuit of Majority World psychological frameworks, and points towards ways in which this could be achieved.

📣 Calling Desi visual artists to collaborate on a really cool arts research project in Vienna! 📣 Contact me asap if you're interested! 🌝 Info: srestha.art

Calling South Asian Artists!

Are you an Indian, Bangladeshi, or Pakistani visual artist? Do you want to collaborate on a really cool arts research project, and find out what your art does to people?! Your artworks will be the centrepiece of my study!

Hi, I am Srestha, a PhD student from India at Universität Wien's Faculty of Psychology, studying the societal impact of the arts! As part of our lab, I am researching how art can positively change people's attitudes towards international immigration, and combat prejudice and discrimination.

Who am I looking for?
• You are an Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, or South Asian visual artist.
• You have lived experiences of forced migration or displacement.
• You are willing to collaborate and co-create as an artist in this research project.

How will we collaborate?
• Once ready, your precious art will be installed and exhibited in a person's home or apartment, and later, an art gallery!
• I will then collect data on people's experiences with your art!

Note: As I am a self-funded PhD student, I sadly cannot offer you monetary compensation right now. However, my endless gratitude and appreciation, as well as the promotion of your art, are a given!

You can contact me via the following ways!

I'd be truly grateful if you consider supporting my GoFundMe campaign: gofund.me/766b9875 Even a small donation could help reach the fundraising target. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word. Thanks for having a look! ✨
