Beliefs about deception in Australia
Research addressing beliefs about deception has been mostly conducted with North American and European participants. However, deception belief consequences are not continent-bound. In legal proceedings, when jurors are responsible for assessing witness credibility, beliefs about deception can distort the outcome of jury trials, which are integral to Australia's criminal justice system. Research on beliefs about deception in Australia are scarce. …
Community Psychology and war
This chapter begins and ends with a reflection on a moment when I anxiously presented a keynote presentation to a Community Psychology conference on the topic of violence and war. I asked the discipline whether it had a serious problem in dealing with violence. In this chapter I unpack that moment by first considering how violence is defined and how Community Psychology has typically focused on interpersonal violence. I then describe structural v…
Colonised minds and community psychology in the academy
We reflect on decolonization and in particular the process of decolonizing our own minds. We discuss the need for radical decolonization of psychology and for critique of community psychology's relationship to both psychology and the Academy, noting ways in which community psychology itself becomes appropriated for the colonizing project of the Academy. Using collaborative autoethnography (CAE), a method that involves “collaborative poetics,” whi…
The good, the bad and the ugly
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to answer the question “what is good research?” from the perspective of critical researchers working in the discipline of psychology. Design/methodology/approach The authors first look at what it means to be “good”, then what it means to be critical and then interlink these two as a means of providing a context to understand why there appears to be so little critical research around. Findings – The authors hav…
Disability and participation
Participation is often espoused as a strategy to promote inclusion, social justice and equality. Exactly how to facilitate participation in practice is often not explicated, nor are the challenges or issues highlighted. By drawing on interview data, the first aim of this paper is to identify the key barriers to participation in an organizational planning activity as experienced by 12 disabled and non‐disabled staff and board members in a small co…
Consultation and Participation with Children in Healthy Schools
In this paper we report on our use of a participatory research methodology to consult with children in the UK on how to improve pupil well‐being in secondary schools, framed within the wider social policy context of healthy schools . We worked with children on the selection of our research methods and sought to voice the views of children to a local education authority to improve the design of school environments. The consultation process ultimat…
Community psychology and injustice in the criminal justice system
In this short paper, we consider the partnership between psychology and the criminal justice system in Western societies and critically reflect on the notion of criminal justice as expressed in such a system. Focusing on how the criminal justice system operates in the UK, and in particular in Scotland, we consider the way the system criminalizes those who previously have been socially and economically disadvantaged. We ask whether community psych…
Researching Pupil Well-Being in UK Secondary Schools
This study explores the relationships between a school, its staff and its pupils and the impact of these relationships on school pupils' well-being. The authors adopted a community psychological perspective and applied critical, social constructionist epistemologies and participatory, multi-method research tools. The article discusses the importance of focusing on the complex, multilayered context of people's lives (both participants and research…
Globalised violence, community psychology and the bombing and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq
In this article, I first set out a conceptualisation of globalised violence. I then reflect upon how psychology networks in general and community psychology networks in particular appear to have positioned themselves publicly in relation to the violence of the recent bombing and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. I ask whether networks of Community Psychologists are able/willing to publicly position themselves in regards to these specific events…

Community psychology, millennium volunteers and UK higher education
In this paper I critically explore the ideological underpinnings of pedagogical and political practices in UK Higher Education (HE). I first map out the political and pedagogical features of community psychology and then describe the Millennium Volunteers project at the University of Northumbria—a scheme that integrates voluntary placements into undergraduate degree programmes, reflecting on the political and pedagogical premises upon which it is…
The Researched Opinions on Research
In this paper, we describe our research review, commissioned by 'the Gift of Thomas Pocklington', into the opinions of visually impaired people on visual impairment research. We interviewed 37 visually impaired people across Central Region, Scotland. Our findings suggest areas of need for visual impairment research, both concerning what is researched and how it is researched. We make recommendations for future research addressing both resource an…
Disabling Employment Interviews
Employment interview research displays a greater concern for refining employment interviews to benefit employers rather than prospective employees. The interviewee's perspective is often overlooked. Further, generally scant attention has been paid to the interview experiences of disabled interviewees. In this paper I present findings from a project that sought to understand disabled interviewees' experiences of employment interviews. My analysis …
Developing empowering research practices with people who have learning disabilities
In this paper we report an exploratory attempt to design a practice that facilitates the extent to which ‘researched-upon’ and ‘researcher-on’ can be cooperatively involved in the planning, data collection and interpretation of research in the field of learning disability and community living. The informants were four people with learning disabilities who had been residents of long-stay mental hospitals but, at the time of the study, had all been…
