  Engaging Reflexive Decolonial Practices in Community Psychology Inquiry & Education

  Vol. 12 No. 2/1 (2026)

  The second volume of the special issue Engaging Reflexive Decolonial Practices in Community Psychology Inquiry & Education gathers twelve contributions that move decoloniality from declaration to practice.
  It opens with a critique of global academic knowledge systems and of the peer-review and publishing machinery that sustains them, then turns to the sites where coloniality is contested: clinical and community mental health services, participatory research with children in the United States, rural Andean youth in Peru, co-research with homeless people in Buenos Aires, Ifá/Òrìṣà spiritual communities, Sudanese women's testimony of wartime femicide, Zimbabwe's heritage-based curriculum, youth radio-making in Melbourne, and podcast pedagogies from Japan and the whiteness-focused counter-modernity inquiry.
  The geography is not incidental. Africa, Asia, Latin America, Oceania, Europe and North America appear not as case studies gathered by a centre, but as sites of theory in their own right. The methods follow suit: collaborative autoethnography, medicine stories, radio, podcasting, diary entries, refusals of linear argument. Authors write reflexively from within their positionalities, declining neat resolutions.Guest editors Mazna Patka, Tiffeny R. Jiménez, Hana Shahin and Olya Glantsman have gathered work that refuses the comfort of critique at a distance.

  Since its founding, Community Psychology in Global Perspective has committed itself to making explicit the ways in which culture organises experience, to ecological readings of individual and community well-being, and to field-based, culturally situated scholarship that advances social change and social justice. This volume takes that commitment to its sharpest edge, turning the framework on the discipline itself — an invitation to listen differently, and to rebuild community psychology accordingly.

  Community Psychology in Global Perspective

  Vol. 12 No. 1/2 (2026)

  This issue of Community Psychology in Global Perspective brings together six research articles and one literature review that share a concern for how communities produce knowledge, care and resistance under conditions of structural inequality.

  Three contributions concern gender and women's agency.
  Passos Pereira Campos and colleagues examine the community solutions that Black, rural and quilombola Brazilian women develop in response to the climate crisis, reading their traditional knowledge through a decolonial and intersectional lens.
  Dornelas and colleagues report on reflective groups for women who have experienced domestic violence in Brazil, discussing the group as a psychosocial device for the reconstruction of meaning.
  Pardo Parra and Bonilla Montenegro analyse the experiences of ten women leaders in Bogotá, showing how horizontal, care-based leadership contributes to peacebuilding in post-conflict Colombia.

  Two articles address deprivation and social disconnection.
  Matsikure Cheure and colleagues explore the psychosocial dimensions of deprivation and community resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sakubva, Zimbabwe.
  Panagiotopoulos and colleagues present a pilot feasibility trial of Groups 4 Health for Refugees, a social identity intervention addressing loneliness among forced migrants in Greece.

  A further contribution moves from intervention to its evaluation. Parkden and colleagues evaluate the anti-racism training of a community organisation in Cornwall and reflect on the conditions that make participatory action research possible for clinical psychologists.

  The issue closes with Bravo Bravo's review, which proposes the notion of relational community and argues, drawing on Mapuche ontology, for the inclusion of non-human agents in our understanding of community.

  Across these settings, the studies show community psychology working with communities rather than on them.
