Abstract This article discusses our efforts to ground transnational feminist practice locally in borderland spaces and to detach this practice, to the extent possible, from the overall structure of Euro-centered knowledge in mental health. We recognize that transnational training and research in psychology has the potential to offer scholar-practitioners the opportunity to engage in transformative intercultural learning processes. However, these processes can become forms of colonization in which dominant knowledge systems originating in the United States are positioned to exert undue influence on vulnerable communities whose members sometimes unwittingly give consent to participate. We situate ourselves and discuss our conceptual framework. We present how we co-constructed a borderland learning space in a particular training program and analyze challenges we encountered in this process. We discuss our research collaboration, highlighting our efforts to ground aspects of the research process also in a borderland space. Finally, we offer recommendations for transnational feminist training and research.

Abstract This special issue is an interdisciplinary collection on intersectionality theory as critical inquiry and praxis. This paper challenges cultural competence models and argues instead for intersectional cultural humility in theory, practice, and teaching. We first provide a brief review of the development of intersectionality theory and future directions for its application. Then, we critique cultural competence models and compare their assumptions to those of intersectional cultural humility. Finally, we demonstrate that intersectional cultural humility aligns critical inquiry with critical praxis, and as such, it is an important and useful framework to guide research, teaching, and practice.

Abstract According to National Gang Center, 2012 statistics, 30,700 gangs existed in the United States with an approximate membership of 850,000 people. Although female gang members account for less than 10% of total membership, their numbers and violence among them are increasing as of 2002. Due to their intersectional invisibility, research and interventions for gang members have been based primarily on the experiences of boys and men. Therefore, we examined the narratives of six female former gang members, including two Latinas, three African American women, and one Arab/Muslim woman. Structural intersectionality guided our analysis of social institutions navigated by participants, including family, gangs, and the legal system. We identified various forms of trauma experienced by all participants, as well as how they exercised perceived power gained by joining a gang. Recommendations to mental health practitioners include careful attention to context and culture, and the embracing of intersectional cultural humility in practice.

Abstract Clinical science must begin to embrace the richness and nuance involved in centering social justice, intersectionality, and diversity and creating space for these topics to exist within scholars, clients, clinical work, theory, and research. In this article, we discuss why the field has resisted these frameworks and offer strategies for increasing their integration in training, research, practice, and the field more broadly. This shift will increase diverse scholars in the field, transform the nature and questions asked within our research, the manner in which we conduct clinical interventions, and the relevance of clinical science for the populations we serve.

Abstract The Salient Circles Diagram is a teaching exercise designed to help participants visually display the relative importance and intersections of their most personally salient identities (e.g., identity as a woman or as a person of color). This activity has been used with hundreds of participants in undergraduate and graduate classes and training programs, continuing education events with psychology professionals, and diversity trainings with non-psychology professionals. Group discussion of the diagrams creates space for dialogue about why some identities are salient and some may be invisible, systems of privilege, power, and marginalization, and how cultural, structural, and individual factors sustain them.

Abstract The path from undergraduate to the professoriate ranks is a running faucet for Black women in the academy. Of the nearly 800,000 full-time faculty at degree granting institutions, Black women represent only 0.8% of assistant, 0.5% of associate, and less than 0.3% of full professors. Racism, sexism, classism, and elitist beliefs about what constitutes a scholarly pedigree and appropriate research, populations of interest, and publication outlets permeate their academic homes. I reflect on my experiences as a mid-career, tenured, Black woman at a research-intensive, Big 10 university and discuss successes, missteps, and transformational moments.

Abstract I use testimonio to examine my journey to psychology. A Latin American first-person narrative, testimonio examines a person’s experience with oppression and resilience. Within this perspective, I explore the impact of discrimination, marginalization, and oppression on my professional development. First, I discuss how place affected my personal and professional identity development. Then, I reflect on how the development of gender, racial, and ethnocultural critical consciousness expanded my psychological vision. Next, I present how I practice mujerista (Latina womanist) leadership, comadre mentorship, and cultural healing. I conclude the testimonio with an examination of my spiritual social justice activism.

Abstract In this special issue, we utilize feminist storytelling to highlight the experiences of diverse female psychologists. While women comprise most of the field, nonwhite women are notably underrepresented. To capture their unique accounts, 12 contributors shared their professional experiences, from which we generate recommendations on how to diversify psychology to include women of color and other underrepresented groups. This introduction frames the goals of the special issue to discuss feminist storytelling, feminism, power, authenticity, and mentorship. By including the voices of women representing a wide spectrum of identities, we hope to capture a unique blend of accounts otherwise untold.

Abstract In this special issue, we offered a venue to capture the stories of diverse woman-identified psychologists. Utilizing feminist storytelling as a vehicle, contributors shared their experiences of mentorship, power, feminism, leadership, and intersectionality from their unique social locations. In this concluding paper, we synthesize overarching themes across author narratives, including central challenges and highlight opportunities for empowerment. We summarize the 12 authors’ contributions, offering our final thoughts to empower women in psychology.

Abstract Successfully navigating my career has been a journey through uncharted waters amidst opposing waves—often being “the first” and “different”. My journey was one of contrasts—being an Asian American woman from an immigrant, working class family to becoming a psychologist, executive director, health care administrator, scholar, and academic dean. I often felt bewilderment and moral outrage at the stereotypes and discrimination I encountered—deemed the exception, both an insider and outsider. Ultimately, my courage and cultural pride led to my transformation and transcendence and a recognition that the personal is professional—my message is: Be there, speak up, and follow your vision!
