Decolonising Psychology: Moving from developing an inclusive social psychology to centring epistemic justice

a symposium titled 'Decolonising Psychology: (moving) from developing an inclusive social psychology to centring epistemic justice'. Epistemic justice is a key, but often glossed over, component of social justice. The symposium was an invitation for social psychologists to reflect deeply on what inclusion means for our field and how social psychology can move towards centring epistemic justice. The panel speakers proposed actions that we, as social psychologists, can take to alleviate inequalities and unjust practices in our field, such as the exclusion and silencing of researchers and researched from marginalised groups; lack of commitment to anti-racist, anti-homophobic, and anti-transphobic speech and actions; and hegemony of Western knowledge production, ethics, and methodological standards.
