Program Description:
Colonialism is not purely a historical concept. We are witnessing it in Eastern Europe, and we can witness it internationally and locally in everyday interactions, clinical encounters, research, systems, institutions, and cultures. Moving towards decolonization requires, first, identification of the effects of colonization. Across four presentations, we will provide a variety of possible approaches to identifying colonization and moving towards decolonization, as we address the need for cultural change.
Level of Instruction:
Intermediate
Learning Objectives:
1. Conceptualize and define colonially and decoloniality, identify the benefits and risks of decoloniality, and describe strategies for bringing the pursuit of decoloniality to their study and practice of psychology.
2. Discuss sexual violence against Asian American women and explain how decolonize practice by psychologists can address this form of systemic oppression and violence.
3. List at least 3 ways Jung's eight cognitive functions can inform the roles of practitioner-scholar activists in addressing cultural genocide, historical amnesia, state-sanctioned brutality, and other forms of structural oppression.
4. Explain the difference between reproductive rights and reproductive justice and identify three key points in history that have led up to the reproductive justice movement.
5. Identify at least 3 barriers from colonialism's legacy and explain at least 3 benefits of a social justice and decolonial pedagogy.
