Careers in Critical, Culture and Community Psychology
What is critical, culture and community psychology?
Working with individual people, groups, communities, and at a societal level, we explore the nature and impact of this interrelationship. We draw on a range of Indigenous, Māori, Pasifika, feminist, qualitative, community, and other critical social theories and methodologies.
Our researchers value scholar-activism and contributing to public debate about social life and how to respond to social and environmental issues.
