In this paper, I offer reflections as someone from outside the United States about the Swampscott conference. I refer to Fryer and Fox's (The Community Psychologist, 24, 2014, 1) critique of the “Swampscott discourse” and its role in fixing the birthplace of community psychology. While the critique is important, I note the growing references to international community psychology and the need to view the discipline as a product of social political realities in different contexts, as well as dynamics of dominance and marginality in knowledge production in psychology. The work in the Global South presents opportunities to contribute to developing a decolonizing community psychology through expanding the ecology of knowledge.

“…These particularly European features are attributable to the Second World War and its long‐term historical‐ethical effects, more left‐wing political sympathies in many European countries, as well as the strong influence of delayed democratisation processes (especially in Portugal, Spain, Greece and Germany). Several other phenomena may be particular to the European mindset, such as increasing immigration, worsening social conflicts and social inequality due to globalisation phenomena, and the tendency to combat policies considered to be capitalistic (see Reich et al, ).…”

“…Despite different and possibly contradictory interpretations of CP competences, European universities at least are teaching and researching CP in a not yet standardised, but comparable and validated manner. The history of CP already has a long tradition in some European countries (for an initial overview, see: Reich et al, ; for Italy: Francescato & Zani, , ; Santinello, Martini, & Perkins, ). CP programmes (MSc level) are offered in 20 European universities, some with two main profiles: Community psychology in its pure form and a combination of social psychology and community psychology.…”

This report from the Standing Committee on Community Psychology of the European Federation of Psychological Association provides an overview of higher education in Community Psychology (CP) in 14 European countries. Our findings show that 10 countries have some kind of CP teaching in their educational system. Twenty European universities offer a CP‐oriented Master degree, two universities at the Bachelor level and 16 universities also have CP‐oriented Ph.D. programmes. The profiles of the universities focus on two areas: Community psychology in a pure form and a combination of social psychology and community psychology. The other universities vary between clinical, organisational psychology, and a pedagogical focus. Within a certain European emphasis, these universities are analysing and changing the social conditions of community life and mental health. The responding universities failed to report adequately on comprehensive core competences and key elements in CP. To compensate for this deficit, the Standing Committee on Community Psychology proposes to develop a primer of basic CP competences for inclusion in programmes like EuroPsy.

“…These constitute a rich set of resources. To complement, we can benefit from the field's receptivity to perspectives from other disciplines (Perkins & Schensul, ) and from contexts around the world (Bond et al., ; Dutta, ; Reich et al., ; Reich, Riemer, Prilleltensky & Montero, ).…”

Leading the Way on Diversity: Community Psychology's Evolution from Invisible to Individual to Contextual

To take up the AJCP editor's call to think forward in this article, I offer up three challenges that revolve around further contextualizing our understandings of diversity, i.e., reconsidering the notion of "difference" between discrete categories; more fully emphasizing diversity as socially situated; and further delving into local, setting-specific practices that shape the meanings of diversity. Enhanced attention to these three challenges can transform theory, research, and action about diversity as we move into community psychology's next 50 years.
