Chinese Canadians’ experiences of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racism: Implications for identity, negative emotion, and anti-racism incident reporting.

Reenvisioning undergraduate teaching in psychology through structural competency and radical justice.
Psychology as a discipline faces growing criticism of being out of touch with the social justice struggles of people who are marginalized and disempowered.

This involves training to meet the needs of those living with racism and other forms of oppression, and those residing in communities at risk. In this article, we present a new model for teaching undergraduate psychology based on the structural competency paradigm. The teaching model we present is grounded in the assum...
