#01 Decolonizing Psychology with Dr. Reddy (she/they), Part 1

In honor of the launch of our magazine and the topic of its first issue - Decolonizing Mental Health, we sat down for a conversation with the amazing Dr. Reddy (she/they) who is a Singapore-born, UK-based, social, political and cultural psychologist. Together, we talked about incredibly important concepts such as coloniality, epistemic violence and the importance of actively decolonizing contemporary psychology, to name a few. It was a beautiful conversation that highlighted some of the most pressing issues currently present in the mental health landscape.
