  • Community Psychology
  • Critical Whiteness Studies

Background:

  • Community psychology prioritizes social justice, necessitating attention to race.
  • The field's literature critically lacks explicit examination of whiteness.
  • This absence limits community psychology's contribution to social justice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of a critical construction of whiteness in community research and action.
  • To review the existing literature at the intersection of community psychology and whiteness studies.
  • To propose future directions for integrating critical whiteness studies into community psychology.

Main Methods:

  • Historical overview of whiteness construction in the U.S.
  • Summary of key insights from critical whiteness studies.
  • Scoping review of community psychology literature addressing whiteness.

Main Results:

  • Whiteness is implicated in the historical development of community psychology.
  • Existing literature frames whiteness as a social location and problematizes its role.
  • Scholarship addresses White supremacy, institutional racism, and White privilege through the lens of whiteness.

Conclusions:

  • Community psychology needs greater critical consciousness of whiteness.
  • Psychologists should promote awareness of whiteness as a complex operating system.
  • Interventions must be developed to dismantle whiteness as a system of domination to achieve social justice.
