Long Abstract:

During this roundtable, we will discuss a series of questions and considerations related to racial subjectivities as well as the decolonization of psychological anthropology, including: how does psychological anthropology’s overall lack of engagement with the historical, affective, and sociocultural process of racialization reproduce racialized hierarchies within the subfield? How does this reproduction contribute to the perpetuation of systemic inequalities that undermine the work of scholars in the subfield who do center racial experiences and racialization in their work? What is needed now in order to transform the field?
