“…2435(Delgado, -2436 Counterstories often, but not necessarily, manifest in contrast to mainstream or master narratives that privilege majority and dominant group experiences as natural, normative, and objective. Counterstories can be personal accounts comprising nonfiction or creative stories written about the self or others (e.g., chronicles; Bracey & McIntosh, 2020;Covarrubias et al, 2022). They can be methodological tools drawing on various sources of empirical data that center previously silenced or dismissed sources of knowing and being (e.g., DeCuir-Gunby, 2020;Solo ´rzano & Yosso, 2002).…”

Recently, there have been several calls for psychologists to dismantle systemic racism within the field (e.g., Buchanan et al., 2021;Dupree & Boykin, 2021;Wilcox et al., 2022). In this article, we discuss why incorporating critical histories into psychology curricula can be beneficial to this effort. We focus on three potential pathways: critical histories provide counterstories that challenge racist narratives, critical histories promote contexts that encourage antiracism practices (antiracist affordances), and critical histories can signal identity safety and belonging. To adequately integrate critical histories into psychology curricula, we make three recommendations. First, create and support a departmental curriculum that engages critical histories in the field of psychology at the undergraduate and graduate level (we offer some example topics and readings). Second, based on our own training experiences, we recommend that psychology graduate programs facilitate opportunities to take interdisciplinary courses that cover the history of race and racism in domestic and/or global contexts. Finally, we recommend funding research and supporting student projects that produce critical histories in psychology to expand the knowledge base of our field.
