Onto chapter 5 of the memoir edits (that’s the halfway mark!) which is a tough one because it’s all about grief. This from the editor:

“Here are my edits/suggestions for the incredibly moving Chapter 5. Your honesty and vulnerability in sharing the story of your dad's passing is…

If you’re not attached to a university it’s bear on impossible
And god help you if you do anything with actual human beings that is clinically focused

Just read the New Zealand Psychology Journal contents page. Its is mind-blowing the difference in content. Predominantly Maori issues in every second article.
Across Australian journals - zero Indigenous content.
Shocking. This is going to be a GREAT analysis.

I am currently working on a commentary piece on the overwhelming systemic barriers for Indigenous specific research & publications with a few of my students. This will include ethics committees, universities and the peer review process. We have three psychology journals in…

Frustratingly just withdrew a critical publication after the second round of peer review and 6 months. With each iteration it was moving further away from scientifically challenging a pretty core mainstream theory which feeds myopic & monocultural assessments & treatments.
This…

Regarding Mark Dreyfus. His wife of 44 years died from cancer just over 4 weeks ago after a very long battle.

I've seen him being savaged by the usual chest-thumpers of political journalism for an 'outburst'.

We will compare with Canada, New Zealand and the US. I anticipate Australian Psychological Society will fall very short.
Australian Psychology remains myopic & monocultural as a result while practitioners on the ground struggle for guidance.
