The American Psychological Association’s (APA) transformation
- The APA has been more politicized in recent years
- In 2020, the APA released its Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Framework, a document laden with concepts from critical race theory and enjoining members to “embed [equity, diversity, and inclusion] throughout all aspects of their work.”
- During the riots in Oakland, California, in 2020, it used the term “people of the global majority,” an alternative collective term for people of color that does not center Whiteness
- It also passed a resolution on “Advancing Health Equity” in 2021 that “centered on race/ethnicity as the key driver of health inequities… [t]ackling climate change, racism, and inequality”
