Perception of Climate Change Solutions
May 12, 2023 · original
Image source: Pixabay Project Drawdown is a non-profit organization that recently published a book titled ‘Drawdown’ (2017) which features a detailed list of solutions to the problem of global warming. They define drawdown as: ‘ the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. ’ The Project Drawdown list places emphasis on solutions that would be practically feasible today, with existing technology, rather than focusing on solutions that are theoretical or may only be viable in years to come. While their list and justifications are compelling, we were curious how recognizable some of these solutions were by name only – whether the public could determine how effective each solution was at improving the climate change situation.

The Diverse Methodologies of Black Psychology
Feb 28, 2023 · original
Author: Judson Bonick Editor: Kahini Shah In our final Black History Month blog post, the Center for Advanced Hindsight continues its celebration of the important work of Black Psychology and the influential individuals who have contributed to this field. As you may recall, our first post introduced the three schools of Black Psychology: traditional, reform, and radical. In the following two weeks, we examined the lives and works of two psychologists who helped build the field of Black Psychology, Dr. Kobi K. K. Kambon and Dr. William E. Cross . In this post, we would like to delve into the three different methodologies that have been used by Black Psychologists to de-center the White/Eurocentric monopoly that has characterized the field since its inception: deconstruction, reconstruction, and construction. We’ve hinted at each of these methodologies in our previous blog posts. Each has
William Cross’ Reform School of Black Psychology
Feb 20, 2023 · original
Author : Shaye-Ann Hopkins Editor : Maximiliano Bernal Temores In this week’s Black History Month blog post, the Center for Advanced Hindsight continues to share the history and contributions of Black psychology. In our first post , we introduced the three schools that make up Black psychology (i.e., traditional, reform, and radical), while last week , we focused on Dr. Kobi K. K. Kambon’s work in the Radical school. We will use this week’s post to highlight the work of William E. Cross, Jr. in the Reform School of Black Psychology. Reform School proponents strongly critiqued the limits of White psychology while arguing that some of its findings could still apply to the Black mind and experience. They built theories around the Black self-concept using a reconstructionist method, where they corrected the errors around Black attitudes and behavior from the Traditionalist school of thought.
The Radical Black Psychology of Dr. Kobi K. K. Kambon
Feb 13, 2023 · original
In the early 1970s, the newly-formed Association of Black Psychologists had quite a job in front of them. Decades of research conducted by the primarily White and Eurocentric scientific establishment had conceptualized any differences between Black and White people through a deficit lens—that is, as signs that Black people were in some way inferior to White people. As we discussed in our first Black History Month post, Black Psychologists can be loosely divided into three groups based on their answer to the question of how to grapple with the legacy of White psychology: The traditionalist s, who accepted the general theories of the human mind set forth by White psychology but challenged its racial biases; The reformers, who strongly critiqued the limits of White psychology while arguing that some of its findings could still apply to the Black mind and experience; The radicals , who sough
The Journey of Black Psychology: Starting from the Beginning
Feb 6, 2023 · original
Author : Shanta Ricks Editor : Mikalyn Rush Black History tells us many stories of Black achievements, accomplishments, and contributions; however, some of these stories are untold or go unnoticed. For Black History Month, The Center for Advanced Hindsight would like to use our voice to share a significant piece of Black history that forever changed the way in which psychology works; the creation of Black psychology. Each week we will post mini blogs that each connect to the history of Black psychology and prominent figures within the field. For today’s blog post, let’s start from the beginning of how and why the field of Black Psychology began. What is Black Psychology? No, it’s not merely Black Psychologists who study within the field of Psychology. It’s actually considered to be a distinct academic discipline! While there are a variety of ways to define the field, the commonalities am

Why DEI is a Must-Do
Oct 31, 2022 · original
Author : Shanta Ricks Editors : Jenna Clark, Judson Bonick & Shaye-Ann Hopkins What is DEI? “Diversity,” “Equity,” and “Inclusion” (DEI) have been popular buzzwords within many businesses and organizations for the past few years. The question is what do companies mean when they say they are striving to have “diversity,” “equity,” and “inclusion”? People use these words interchangeably, but they are different things. Diversity Let’s say an organization is composed of all White males. The company decides to be more intentional about unbiasedly hiring based on merit – hoping to employ a more diverse range of people. They succeed, and as such able to promote diversity within their organization. Diversity is “the presence of differences that may include race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, language, (dis)ability, age, religious commitment,
Black History Month Spotlight: Kiana Bess
Feb 28, 2022 · original
As we’ve celebrated Black History Month, we’ve shed light onto historical Black figures who made significant contributions to behavioral science. However, we should not only think about historical figures, but those in the present moment. There are so many Black scientists in the making who are currently publishing papers, launching projects, and teaching classes, and Black History Month is a chance to amplify their voices as well. For our final Black History Month blog post, I had the honor of interviewing Kiana Bess, a fourth-year doctoral student studying Public Health at the University of Michigan. Kiana and I chatted about her research, goals, and inspirations. Kiana Bess is a Portsmouth, Virginia native who spends most of her time working on her dissertation, however in her free time she likes to engage in physical activities, such as running and Pilates. Kiana has a passion for he
Black History Month Spotlight: Linda Datcher Loury
Feb 18, 2022 · original
In the third week of celebrating historical black scholars for Black History Month, we will share the story of one of the key pioneers of the field of social economics: Linda Datcher Loury. Loury’s unique, evidence-based approach helped shape the development of social economics as a field from the 1980s onwards. She helped shed light on how race, background, and familial and social relationships influence educational and job attainment. Linda Datcher Loury (1952-2011) was born in Baltimore, Maryland. She earned her B.A. in economics, with a concentration in Black Studies from Swarthmore College in 1973. After this, she graduated with her Ph.D. in psychology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1978. There, she met her future husband and research collaborator, Glenn Loury, Professor of Economics at Brown University. After graduating from MIT, she held research and teach
Black History Month Spotlight: Robert Lee Williams II
Feb 11, 2022 · original
Today, the Center for Advanced Hindsight continues our celebration of Black History Month by highlighting another African American scholar whose work has been foundational in psychology and behavioral science: Dr. Robert Lee Williams II. You may not have heard of Dr. Robert Lee Williams II (1930-2020), but you have almost certainly heard of his work. Born in Arkansas during the Jim Crow era, he had to overcome considerable obstacles to become a psychologist. His mother, Rosie Lee Mitchell, had received no more than a few years’ schooling. All the same, she knew the value of formal education: when Williams was little, she told him “ Boy, go get that piece of paper. ” Williams took those words to heart, but his path was not easy. During his junior year in high school, an aptitude test suggested he was better suited for manual labor than intellectual pursuits. This was a serious blow to his
