Although psychological science is considered objective, racism exists within psychological research (Buchanan et al., 2021; Roberts et al., 2020; Roberts & Rizzo, 2021). Antiracism includes a critical understanding of racism, Whiteness, and White privilege, and consistent behaviors that challenge racism (Helms, 2017). “Anti-racist research involves understanding and situating racism within societal systems and policies and conducting research that aims to challenge and eradicate racism. Anti-racist research is thus essential to the work of dismantling systems of racism and oppression” (Wray-Lake et al., 2022, p. 1286). Psych 593 is a multi-year proseminar designed to educate faculty and students on conducting antiracist psychological research. Invited speakers will come from subdisciplines within the field of psychology. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
