“…Finally, in the last decade, numerous community psychologists focused their attention on producing academic and empirical work emphasizing the value of CBPR to successfully conducting community-driven and engaged scholarship that upholds the long-standing core values of the field (Kaufman et al, 2016;Kornbluh et al, 2019;Kloos et al, 2012).…”

Reflecting on pedagogy and curricula that have shaped the field of community psychology, we review the history of training community psychologists since the field’s inception in the United States. We then examine relevant academic literature documenting how digital technologies in the 21st century have been successfully used in community-based participatory research (CBPR) studies conducted by community psychologists to promote engaged scholarship, the field’s core values (e.g. sense of community, social justice, collaboration), and its commitment to social change. While early ideas for improving scholars’ training emphasized adopting practices to meet changing community needs, our review of literature on CBPR and other community-engaged scholarly work by community psychologists in the last two decades has revealed that digital technologies’ ability to promote the field’s values and goals still needs to be fully harnessed. Lastly, we offer practical recommendations for community psychology undergraduate and graduate training programs to consider and implement so they can incorporate digital technologies into their programs and harness their potential to promote engaged scholarship, the field’s core values, and its commitment to social change.

“…Kaufman et al. () describe the importance of settings as a means to advance the field, and illustrate this with a description of The Consultation Center at Yale. Her co‐authors, all faculty in that setting, received their training in the field through graduate and postdoctoral programs or through involvement in the setting itself, but over a period of more than 30 years – from the early 1980s (Tebes), through the 1990s (Crusto, Connell, Gordon, Kaufman, Ward), the 2000s (Strambler, Sullivan), and the recent decade (Simon, Sartor, Weiss).…”

“…Drawing on Sarason's book, The Creation of Settings and the Future Societies (), Kaufman et al. () argue for the need to create settings where community psychology can flourish, particularly those that integrate research, practice, and education. She describes how her own setting, with its incentives and constraints, was created as a response to the 1963 Community Mental Health Act and the 1965 Swampscott Conference, and calls for the creation of new settings for the field that are responsive to the current moment.…”

This special issue commemorates the 50th anniversary of the founding of U.S. community psychology in Swampscott, Massachusetts in 1965. The issue includes commentaries from a cross-section of community psychologists educated in community psychology training programs established after Swampscott, in the 1970s or later. The contributors, who vary in their involvement in community-engaged research, training, and practice, offer a diverse set of perspectives on the field. Each was asked to reflect on the future of community psychology based on their own training and experiences. After providing some background to the Swampscott Conference and the era in which it took place, I offer a few of my own reflections on community psychology's future growth and development. I then introduce the 15 commentaries that follow.
