A decolonial and liberation lens to social justice research: Upholding promises for diverse, inclusive, and equitable psychological science.

A preliminary model of intersectional minority stress among sexual and gender diverse Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

“…We strongly urge future research to consider the co-occurrence of stress and strengths in the lives of SGD-BIPOC so as not to perpetuate decific-based research while underscoring sources of resilience within SGD-BIPOC communities. Finally, future studies that assess the experiences of oppression among minoritized groups should aim to use methods that are continuously informed by the same communities in an effort to decolonize and decenter “the science” and center the humanity of the people (Garcini et al, 2023) so that oppressive systems can be dismantled.…”

Immigration status microaggressions: A moderated mediation analysis of cultural stress, fear, internalization, and psychological stress among Latinx and Asian college students.

“…Finally, our study used a traditional psychological measure to assess cultural stress, which can limit the extent to which specific types of stress can be assessed. Future studies should consider these limitations and adopt methodologies that can better honor the humanity of minoritized communities (Garcini et al, 2023).…”

The psychology of precarity: A critical framework.

“…Within the past few decades, psychologists from diverse specialties have developed several lines of critical thought that shift the traditional focus away from decontextualized views of individuals to more inclusive perspectives of people living in societies that inequitably distribute resources, barriers, and threats (e.g., Eaton et al, 2021; Fine, 2023; French et al, 2020; Garcini et al, 2023). This more systemic and critical view derives from numerous perspectives, including public psychology (Eaton et al, 2021), critical consciousness 1 (Cadenas & McWhirter, 2022), social and racial justice frameworks (French et al, 2020; Helms, 2015; Neville et al, 2013; Suzuki et al, 2019), Indigenous psychology (Gone, 2021), decolonial movements (Garcini et al, 2023), liberation psychology (Comas-Díaz & Torres Rivera, 2020; Martín-Baró, 1994), and intersectionality theory and practice (Cole, 2009; Moradi & Grzanka, 2017). At this juncture, psychology is at a crossroads regarding the question of why and how to expand its mission to embrace social, political, and economic realities that affect people in obvious and subtle ways (e.g., American Psychological Association’s [APA’s], 2021 apology about its role in intergenerational racism; APA, 2021).…”
