CERA-ECIG-IIG Preconference Workshop
2023-06-20 11:00 - 14:00 (America/Detroit) | Morehouse College, 830 Westview Drive, Atlanta, GA, 30314, United States
Title: Envisioning Psychology Beyond the Historic University System: Decolonizing Knowledge Creation and Dissemination
Presenters: Geri Palmer, Sindia Colburn
A major concern with most educational diversity and social justice education initiatives is not so much a shortage of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies. Rather, the root of ineffectiveness points to adopting simplistic strategies, including teaching and practicing through a colonized knowledge creation system. In turn, these ways of doing pose no threat to inequity. For example, we constantly hear that an “achievement gap” exists in education. However, this gap can be more aptly described as an “opportunity gap”. If we don’t see the “opportunity gap” we will never close the achievement gap (Gorski & Pothini, 2018, p. 10).
This hybrid two-hour Preconference workshop is a decolonized learning space that will help attendees develop an equity-centered foundation including empathy capacity building and learn to practice seeing through an equity lens. Equity-centering is a missing piece in most performative DEI initiatives, and these failures create further harm for psychologists. From this foundation, psychology professionals–whether independent researchers, practitioners, or academic scholars–will learn action steps to create decolonized knowledge beyond systemic barriers and disseminate that information for vast public consumption.
Further, this hybrid preconference workshop will include in-person and virtual breakouts where attendees can practice action steps. This workshop will also serve as a precursor for three subsequent related sessions facilitated by the Council on Cultural, Ethnic and Racial Affairs (CERA), the Early Career Interest Group (ECIG) and the Indigenous Interest Group (IIG) as follows: CERA’s Advancing Epistemic Justice: Decolonizing Knowledge Creation and Dissemination will discuss knowledge mobilization; ECIG’s From Degree to Community Practice, Unique Careers for Community Psychologists will address how to translate psychology degrees into community practice and independent action research; and Indigenous IG’s Community-centered Action Research and Service will offer new pathways to reach and serve Indigenous communities while honoring community narratives.
Title: From Degree to Community Practice, Unique Careers for Community Psychologists
Co-presenters/authors: Jordan Tackett Russell, Dr. Vernita Perkins, Audrianna Rodriguez
Utilizing an equity-centered foundation, this session will guide early career community psychologists (and related fields) towards community practice, independent research, and beyond-historic-university-system academic careers. Early Career Professionals (ECPs) often encounter a plethora of mixed messaging and signals around how to approach building a new career from recently completed degrees, along with how to incorporate the evolving learning outcomes obtained during these degrees into a meaningful career. Many ECPs want to do careers differently. These ECPs want to impact real change and dream new community futures. The question becomes how to integrate formal degrees, innovative learning outcomes, decolonized principles of community psychology, and being a self-developed, lifelong learning psychologist within a unique, future-oriented career. Preferably, a unique career path that aligns with equity-centered content, dismantles Anti-Blackness and systemic injustices, celebrates all social identities, upholds meaningful community engagement, and thrives on liberated creativity. This session, one of the three sessions extending from the collaborative CERA-ECIG-Indigenous IG Preconference session, will include early career PAR (participatory action research) with Photovoice and indigenous methodologies, a reflexive experiential component, a career defining and designing practice, and the opportunity to build professional community (aka networking) in this welcoming and socially supportive space.
Title: Transforming Communities – Community-centered Action Research and Service
Presenters: Steffi Kim, Steffi M. Kim and Donalee Unal and Michael Kral
Discussant: Serdar M. Değirmencioğlu
Indigenous communities remain underrepresented and lack data and resources in many aspects of psychology. A eurocentric psychology continues to marginalize Indigenous communities perpetuating existing challenges. In response to populations that have been chronically underserved and underrepresented within the social sciences, scholars have outlined the need for community-based engagement strategies and research methodologies to represent those communities’ voices to promote culturally informed, appropriate, and driven health initiatives. This symposium introduces and discusses new pathways to reach and serve Indigenous communities while honoring community narratives, needs, and guidance in decolonizing knowledge creation and knowledge mobilization efforts. This session is one of the three sessions extending from the collaborative CERA-ECIG-Indigenous IG Preconference session. It includes researchers sharing their experiences in collaborating with communities, including engagement strategies, methodologies, and community-guided dissemination of knowledge.
Presenter 1: Michael Kral has done community-based participatory action research on suicide prevention with Inuit youth in Arctic Canada. Inuit youth have one of the highest suicide rates in the world, and in this project, the youth formed a youth center that reduced suicides in the community by 68% in eight years.
Presenter 2: Steffi Kim has collaborated with Alaska Native communities to learn from Elders about successful aging. She will share her work and introduce various forms of community-based research methodologies and community-guided research and dissemination practices.
Presenter 3: Donalee Unal will present a population study with 12 Natives from various federally recognized tribal nations to learn what these individuals were doing to further their sovereignty and preserve their culture. Her work was grounded in an Indigenous methodology to bring to the forefront an affirmative narrative of Native culture and creativity. Her study explored a different narrative of the socioeconomic scenarios often portrayed for Native communities.
Discussant: Serdar M. Değirmencioğlu will be the discussant of this session.

Ryan Gravel, AICP, is an urban designer, author, and speaker – an entrepreneur working on ideas about the future of cities. His master’s thesis in 1999 was the original vision for the Atlanta Beltline, a 22-mile transit greenway that with twenty years of progress, is changing both the physical form of his city and the decisions people make about living there. Now a $4 billion public-private investment in the early stages of implementation, the project’s health and economic benefits are already evident through record-breaking use of its first section of mainline trail and over $7 billion of private sector redevelopment since 2005.
Ryan has received numerous awards and press related to his work on the Atlanta Beltline and tells his story internationally, but an essential aspect of his work is yet to come. Alongside project work at Sixpitch and research on similar “catalyst infrastructure” projects around the world, he makes a compelling case about what this movement means and why it matters. In his book, “Where We Want to Live,” (St. Martin’s Press, 2016), Ryan investigates the cultural side of infrastructure, describing how its intimate relationship with our way of life can illuminate a brighter path forward for cities.
Ryan’s story has made ink in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Monocle, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, CityLab, CNN International, USA Today, and Esquire Magazine. He has been listed among the 100 Most Influential Georgians by Georgia Trend Magazine, 2014; the GOOD 100 by GOOD Magazine, 2013; “Visionary Bureaucrat” by Streetsblog, 2012; and “Top 25 Newsmakers” of 2011 by Engineering News-Record. He received Southface Institute’s highest Argon Award in 2022, Trees Atlanta’s Individual Tree Champion award in 2019, a “Trailblazer” award in 2018 from the South Fork Conservancy; an “Emerging Voices” citation from the AIA-Atlanta in 2011; Jenny D. Thurston Memorial Award from the Atlanta Urban Design Commission in 2007. He was named one of “45 Atlantans We Love” by Atlanta Magazine in 2006; one of “40-under-40″ from the Atlanta Business Chronicle in 2006; and on of the “Best & Brightest” by Esquire Magazine in 2006. Other honors include a Special Award of Recognition from AIA-Atlanta in 2005; and Golden Shoe Award for pedestrian-friendly research from PEDS in 2003.
Ryan is the board chair of Generator and serves on the board of the Partnership for Southern Equity.
