About Psychology for everyone everywhere all at once
Join Anita and Aileen for a series of interviews with Australian psychologists who are experts in diversity. We’ll be talking about the status of the profession, ideas about ways forward, how to create change, and how practitioners from marginalised communities can sustain themselves. We’ll be considering how to have better conversations about diversity and identity and learning about the troubled history of psychology in its treatment of minority groups. We will initially focus on culture and race, and then move on to talk about gender, sexuality and ability. Come along for the ride to learn about the experiences of psychologists from communities traditionally underserved by our profession, and consider what’s needed from you and the people around you to be psychologists for everyone.
