Faculty members in the Historical, Theoretical, and Critical Studies of Psychology at York University stand in solidarity with the current protests against anti-Blackness, systemic racism, and police brutality. We are committed to examining and changing our own practices in light of psychology's historic and current role in perpetuating anti-black racism and racist science. We are working to ensure that the HTC program curriculum (course syllabi, reading lists, etc.), at both undergraduate and graduate levels, incorporates anti-racist and decolonial scholarship and critically interrogates the racist and colonial foundations on which institutional Psychology is based. As a small start, we are building bibliographies of relevant history of psychology literature that can be drawn on to facilitate these goals. A draft of the first bibliography, on race and racism in the history of psychology, is available here. Work on these resources is ongoing. We welcome suggestions.

York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been taken care of by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

Subject: Help CCHP spread the message - #GivingTuesday

As you probably know, Tuesday, November 30^th, is #GivingTuesday, a day of generosity and giving. This year the CCHP will be running a campaign to request support from our donors, followers, and guests. We are asking for your help to spread the word!

As you know, the CCHP supports student learning, research, and work - both locally and internationally. Our archival collections and online resources contribute to research and learning objectives, our Museum & Archives Studies Certificate program provides hands-on learning opportunities in the cultural heritage fields, and our Museum and Gallery spaces welcome class visits from both right here in Akron, the surrounding communities and around the world. Student assistants and interns learn valuable skills – from engaging with visitors to processing archival collections - that further their education and support future employment. These activities are supported primarily through gifts and donations.

Our #GivingTuesday campaign will run throughout the day on Tuesday, November 30^th across our social media channels: @CCHPsych and @IHSCulture on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Donors will be asked to contribute either by texting CCHP to 41444 or by visiting our Giving page.

What can you do? Please help support our efforts by sharing one or more of the social media posts during the day with your network.

Not on social media? No problem! Feel free to share the attached image via your own email or you can even forward this email with the direct link to donate at our website: https://www.uakron.edu/chp/support.
