Hi @SPSPnews @SPSPGSC I know we like to think we are on the right side of history. Currently, SPSP is on the side of racial apartheid and genocidal violence. Least we can do is to recognize settler colonialism; same thing which exterminated indigenous people all for land (1/2)

We can do better. Neither the unit of analysis (i.e., the aggregated psychological) nor the investigators are seemingly neutral. This abstract is a prime example of how scientific inquiry is ignorant to its own partiality--that is congruent with dominant narratives of power.

It is the kind of 'diversity' which allows power dynamics to remain unchallenged. BIPOC academics and early career scholars are often used as tokens. And if needed, those in charge remind them of the rules: accept the crumbles and smile or leave. Sadly, some are okay with this.
