The paper "Advancing Equity in Cross-Cultural Psychology: Embracing Diverse Epistemologies and Fostering Collaborative Practices" by Gulnaz Anjum and Mudassar Aziz highlights the challenges of inequity and marginalization in cross-cultural psychology (CCP), particularly concerning scholarship from the Global South. It emphasizes how intellectual extractivism and the predominance of Western research methodologies often overlook the contributions of Global South scholars and indigenous ways of knowing, narrowing the scope of psychological inquiry and privileged American and European perspectives. The authors advocate for a shift towards more equitable collaborations and the recognition of diverse epistemologies, emphasizing the importance of genuine representation in research and valuing local knowledge. They propose pathways for a more inclusive and authentic exploration of human behavior across cultures, addressing issues such as publication disparities, ethical considerations, and the need for decolonizing psychological science. The paper also discusses the historical context of colonialism and its implications for psychological scholarship, the risks of cultural misunderstanding and ethnocentrism, and the importance of recognizing intra-cultural diversity and cultural dynamism. It calls for a broader scope of research that includes diverse cultural contexts and regions, particularly those in Latin America and beyond, to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of global psychological diversity. Additionally, the paper explores the economics of knowledge production in CCP, highlighting the dominance of the Global North in dictating research agendas and funding, and the challenges faced by scholars from the Global South in accessing resources. It advocates for more equitable research partnerships and the development of global research consortia to foster a more inclusive and representative academic community.The paper "Advancing Equity in Cross-Cultural Psychology: Embracing Diverse Epistemologies and Fostering Collaborative Practices" by Gulnaz Anjum and Mudassar Aziz highlights the challenges of inequity and marginalization in cross-cultural psychology (CCP), particularly concerning scholarship from the Global South.
