Just Psych: Justice meets PsychologyAuthor: Marissa Green and Brian Ellison
Our goal is to foster meaningful conversations about systemic injustices in the US by sharing psychological research. The injustices we discuss focus on how the decisions that are made by various entities (e.g. colleges, the government) influence peoples lives. We also invite other stake-holders and individuals with direct personal experiences to enrich our discussions. We also share our own personal experiences along the way. Finally, we aim to promote a better understanding of the field of psychology. We only claim to be experts in finding and sharing high-quality research on these topics.
