Hawaiian psychology: Ka lama kukui: Kūkākūkā (talking story) and Hawaiian historical and racial trauma.
Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(1), Feb 2023, 60-68; doi:10.1037/pac0000660Can humanity face the truth that our Euro-American civilizations have inflicted violence, oppression, racism, and genocidal actions to conquer, capture, and enslave groups of human beings? The suffering experienced by the victims of these actions is unimaginable and needs to be addressed to enhance peace and stability on the planet. We are two psychologists—a native Hawaiian and a New England Haole (foreigner of European ancestry)—who see the Kingdom of Hawai’i as a microcosm of the macrocosm of historical trauma (HT), ...

Finding a community in plants: Reexamining the decolonial project of rehumanization with our nonhuman relatives.
This article at its core is about how struggles for liberation cannot be separate from nature. The human–nature binary is explored as a settler colonial, capitalist, White supremacist, and heteropatriarchal imperative to create a distance between human and nature (plants, animals, and land), as well as to designate degrees of humanness among people, especially among historically marginalized groups. This binary serves to justify and create shared conditions of oppression and breathlessness (Maldonado-Torres, 2016a) for humans and nonhumans alike. Further, rematriation is discussed as returning the land to the original st...

Healing heartburns and radically dreaming the new university into being: Retrospective auto-ethnographic poetries.
Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(1), Feb 2023, 41-51; doi:10.1037/pac0000644We crafted our article in the spirit of decolonial women of color writings, as we engaged a retrospective auto-ethnographic methodology through poetries. We conceptualize auto-ethnography as a method rooted in Cherrie Moraga’s theory in the flesh. Retrospective auto-ethnography aids us in our process of looking back as we produce poetries in the present and toward the future. Our poetries are informed by the subjectivities that locate us within the neoliberal university’s coloniality of power. By reflecting upon our exper...

Healing justice: Engaging an ethic of care in the academy and within our communities.
This article explores two decolonial and healing justice projects from which the authors have attempted to make our own humanity visible, through reclaiming, testimonio, “re-membering” of and from our painful past through connecting, restoring, celebrating survival and joy, and envisioning alternative structures and conditions that embody an ethic of care. The first project is the Next Generation (NEXTGEN) “Pagbabalik” (Coming Home) Program, which supports second-generation Filipinx Americans to visit their home country for the first time. These trips have served as a cultural portal to a country of origin that has...

Blak women’s healing: Cocreating decolonial praxis through research yarns.
This article is informed by decolonial frameworks that seek to delink from ways of knowing, doing, and being that have served to oppress, racialize, and dehumanize communities. We share key insights developed through the intentional dialogues, the behind-the-scenes discussions, of our research collective in imagining and enacting the Blak women’s healing project(s) as decolonial praxis. Within the culturally safe space of our community of practice, we shared stories of our past and present, stories about oppression, marginalization, and exclusion, as well as stories of survival, resistance, and love. We sought to engage ...

Women of color in academia: Theorizing in the flesh toward decolonial feminist futures.
Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(1), Feb 2023, 10-20; doi:10.1037/pac0000642Too often, the experiences of women of color (WoC) academics are silenced despite university commitments to diversity and being spaces for and occupied by those who espouse liberal antiracist ideologies. We are a group of academics at various stages of our academic careers, from different disciplines, various universities in Australia, and from different and overlapping social backgrounds. The aim of this article is to engage in embodied theorizing about our experiences as WoC scholars in Australian universities. Despite our ...

Perspectives on colonial violence “from below”: Decolonial resistance, healing, and justice in/against the neoliberal academy.
Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(1), Feb 2023, 1-9; doi:10.1037/pac0000677Coloniality governs who has the right to exist and belong, and who is disposable and deportable. It determines who has the right to express the full range of their humanity, while others are relegated to realms of subhuman invisibility. For colonized communities, this normalization of violence and suffering unfolds within everyday existence, which becomes a site of trauma and resistance. The neoliberal academy is one such key site through which coloniality is produced and naturalized. Many of us working within the academy conti...

Despite growing literature on the drives of transitional justice, little emphasis has been paid to the role of culture on shaping transitional justice preferences. The primary objective of the article was to test the role of honor, face, and dignity values in preferences for transitional justice in th...

Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(3), Aug 2023, 203-212; doi:10.1037/pac0000672A culture of peace is expressed as a set of values, attitudes, and modes of behavior based on nonviolence and respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of people.

“You gotta keep pushing”: Immigrant people regaining ontological security and withstanding coloniality.
Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(2), May 2023, 113-125; doi:10.1037/pac0000658In the context of coloniality, immigrant people regain ontological security (OS) to rehumanize themselves. OS is a sense of trust immigrant people feel in the reliability of people and institutions (Vaquera et al., 2017). We consensus-coded interviews of 33 immigrant people in the Western United States. The analysis team was composed of bilingual coders from immigrant backgrounds. Immigrant people regain OS by using strategies at different ecological levels of analysis (Prilleltensky, 2008). They regain trust in themselves,...

Third parties are supportive of social movement’s use of violence when it previously used nonviolence (but failed to achieve change).
Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(4), Nov 2023, 409-419; doi:10.1037/pac0000654Across four experimental studies (NStudy 1 = 466, a hypothetical movement in Bhutan, NStudy 2 = 447, a hypothetical movement in the United Kingdom, NStudy 3 = 463, a hypothetical movement in Bhutan, NStudy 4 = 460, a real movement in the United States) and an integrated data analysis, we examined when third parties (i.e., those who are not actively engaged in the movement) will support a social movement that permits the use of violence. In Studies 1–3, third parties were more willing to support violence when it was framed...
