Title: People, Culture, and Psychology: Diverse Voices from the Field

Embark on a journey of discovery with our upcoming issue. We invite thought-provoking articles that delve into the intricate connections between people, culture, and psychology. Whether you are a seasoned researcher, practitioner, academic, or emerging voice, share your insights, experiences, and perspectives. Unearth the stories and nuances that shape our field including the diverse culture contexts. Join us in amplifying the voices from the field, fostering a tapestry of knowledge that reflects the vibrant intersections of people, culture, and psychology.

Objectives:

  • To generate more space for differences to be shared and experienced within the field of psychology in Canada.
  • To create an opportunity for persons in the field of psychology of diverse backgrounds, interactional identities, and lived experiences to voice their thoughts, experiences, and stories.
  • To broaden our perspectives by hearing underrepresented stories, narratives, and lived experiences of students, peers, and colleagues across varying subfields of psychology.
  • To give a platform for our colleagues to share their often unheard voices.

Questions for the authors to consider:

  • How do you describe your ‘culture’ or your ‘intersectionality of identities’?
  • Based on your culture or cultural identities, how did you experience psychology as a discipline or field? (e.g., educational and training experiences, practice experiences, etc.) What does that experience tell you about the field of psychology?
  • Tell us what space psychology needs to create to help the voices and experiences of people with your culture or cultural identities strive? To phrase it differently, if you have a wish list, what would you like to see psychology as a field do? What changes should psychology engage in to make people with your cultural background feel more at home and empowered?
  • What other important messages and/or lessons learned do you have for the discipline of psychology, to help it grow and advance going forward?
