Dudgeon, P., Ryan, K., Hirvonen, T., & Sonn, C. What does decolonisation within psychology mean for me? APS Webinar, online.

ABSTRACT

Overview

This panel discussion will explore the definitions and application of decolonisation in Australia.

Specifically, it asks:

What role can psychology and psychologists carry out within a decolonisation agenda?What does it look like for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples & for non-Indigenous Australians? What actions/attitudes/behaviours are involved?, and What can the discipline do to support or encourage a decolonising education?.

These are challenging and provocative questions for the discipline and the profession which are designed to stimulate discussion and identify potential ways forward.
