Intersectionality and Fascism
Five years before the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Dobbs decision, reproductive justice scholar‐activist Loretta Ross used the term “Americanized fascism” to describe right‐wing social movements that promote totalitarianism, the systematic erosion of civil rights, and the consolidation of a patriarchal White ethno‐state. Her warning about the mainstreaming of White supremacy and aligned political projects seems obvious in retrospect now that abo…
The War on Intersectionality
Intersectionality scholars, including myself, spent much of the past 15+ years in what Jennifer Nash (2017) called the “intersectionality wars” (17), or fierce and sometimes deeply personal debates on the appropriate uses and perceived abuses of intersectionality in academic scholarship. Whereas the intersectionality wars played out in the pages of books (Carastathis 2016), paywalled academic journal articles (Bilge 2013), professional conference…
Mobilizing for Reproductive Justice
Recent moves by the majority of U.S. states to restrict abortion rights marked a new stage in the movement for reproductive justice, the intersectional human rights framework inaugurated by Black feminists in the 1990s. Political organizing to engage voters and shift public opinion in favor of abortion rights implicates a number of key psychological processes, including prejudice and intergroup contact, despite a relative lack of attention to abo…
Intersectionality and Science and Technology Studies
Over the past thirty years, intersectionality has become a nearly ubiquitous framework for understanding, critiquing, and intervening in complex social inequalities. Emerging from critical race and feminist studies, intersectionality has many shared analytic priorities with science and technology studies (STS), including an emphasis on co-emergent social forces, historical contingency, and interventions that challenge and enhance knowledge produc…
Masking (Not Masking) Up
In this paper we argue that a visual-intersectional approach can advance the field of science and technology studies (STS). Although there is a small but important body of work using visual methods in STS, it has rarely incorporated intersectional approaches. We use visual imagery about mask wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study to illustrate the potential power of a visual-intersectional approach in STS. We chose masks for three r…
Gay Genes in the Postgenomic Era
This roundtable analyzes the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) that sought to identify the genetic variations that correlate with same-sex sexual behavior. Drawing on over 450,000 individuals' genetic material from the UK Biobank and 23andMe, the 2019 study concluded that "many loci with individually small effects," which are spread across the entire genome, contribute in statistically significant but highly unreliable ways to an individ…
What surprised me is that they try to humiliate me”
An argument for bad psychology
How might core values of psychology impede efforts to promote public psychology? We identify some of the ways the discipline's aspirations for publicly engaged science are undermined by its norms, particularly when engaging with communities affected by historically entrenched, structural inequalities. We interrogate what makes for "good" psychology, including methodological and ethical norms that are used to maintain scientific integrity and poli…
Can White Guilt Motivate Action? The Role of Civic Beliefs
Sexual Orientation Beliefs and Identity Development
We conducted person-centered analysis of sexual orientation beliefs among sexual minorities to explore potential relationships between these beliefs and sexual orientation, developmental milestones, race and ethnicity, and attitudes about sexual orientation. We recruited participants ( N = 416) via Amazon Mechanical Turk who completed measures of beliefs about sexual orientation and attitudes about their own sexuality, as well as assessments of m…
Public psychology
Psychology's role in public life and social issues has been of longstanding concern throughout the discipline. In a historical moment of tremendous social, political, and economic strife and a global pandemic, this special issue of American Psychologist seeks to extend important discourse about the concept of public psychology. The articles included in the special issue address a range of interconnected themes, including: (a) centering social pro…
Do beliefs about sexual orientation predict voting behavior? Results from the 2016 U.S. presidential election
From Buzzword to Critical Psychology
In this paper, I introduce a framework that invites psychologists to take intersectionality seriously. First, I revisit some primary tools of intersectional analysis and underscore their relevance to critical training. I then sketch out a flexible typology of what intersectionality is and, more consequentially, what it is not. Next, I consider how intersectionality can help to reimagine the relationships between complementary and competing paradi…
Reproductive Anxiety and Conditional Agency at the Intersections of Privilege
Public health officials and major health care organizations in the United States have identified long‐acting reversible contraception (LARC) as the first‐line option for preventing unintended pregnancy. Existing research on LARC focuses on efficacy and usage rates, generally effacing women's lived experiences with these historically controversial devices. We take a critical, reproductive justice‐informed approach to LARC promotion efforts in this…

approach to contraceptive use. We suggest that immediate postpartum LARC insertion policies, which have proliferated in the U.S. since 2012, exemplify the new era of LARC hegemony, in which urgency, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and outcomes dominate both health policy and clinical practice around these contraceptive technologies. By following these efforts to facilitate access to and use of immediate postpartum LARC, we find a discourse on sex…
Measuring Neoliberalism
White Supremacy and Counseling Psychology
The mainstreaming of White nationalism in the United States and worldwide suggests an urgent need for counseling psychologists to take stock of what tools they have (and do not have) to combat White supremacy. We review the rise of social justice issues in the field of counseling psychology and allied helping professions and point to the limits of existing paradigms to address the challenge of White supremacy. We introduce transnationalism as an …
The White Racial Affect Scale (WRAS)
Empirical and conceptual work suggests mixed consequences of White guilt: it may correspond with antiracist attitudes and behavior, but it may also motivate defensiveness and disengagement. We addressed weaknesses in existing psychometric tools used to measure White guilt by synthesizing approaches from the literature on White racial emotions and self-conscious affect, and by attempting to distinguish between White guilt and shame. The results of…
Sincerely Held Principles” or Prejudice? The Tennessee Counseling Discrimination Law
In 2016, Tennessee became the first state to allow counselors and therapists in private practice to deny services to any client based on the therapist’s sincerely held principles . The law’s proponents framed mental health care ethics as infringing on counselors’ religious liberties; its critics denounced the bill because it apparently targeted LGBT+ individuals. This exploratory study is the first statewide assessment of LGBT+ Tennesseans’ ( N =…
Agency-Without-Choice
This manuscript reports the findings of a critical visual discourse analysis of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) promotion materials. The authors argue that these contemporary LARC promotion images produce a discourse they identify as 'agency-without-choice,' in which LARC devices are framed as the only responsible contraceptive option precisely because they are so empowering. The authors situate LARC promotion within its historical an…
Using intersectionality responsibly
The increasing popularity of the concept of intersectionality in the social sciences, including in psychology, represents an opportunity to reflect on the state of stewardship of this concept, its roots, and its promise. In this context, the authors aim to promote responsible stewardship of intersectionality and to tip the momentum of intersectionality's flourishing toward fuller use and engagement of its roots and promise for understanding and c…

Counseling Psychology and Reproductive Justice
Although it remains an underresearched topic in the field, counseling psychology can and should play an important role in enhancing individuals’ sexual and reproductive health (SRH), as well as promoting reproductive rights at the systemic level. SRH issues affect virtually all people, especially those whose sexual and reproductive behaviors and identities are stigmatized. In this article, we make the case for the importance of SRH and rights in …

Is Essentialism Essential? Reducing Homonegative Prejudice by Targeting Diverse Sexual Orientation Beliefs
Queer Survey Research and the Ontological Dimensions of Heterosexism
From the perspective of critical psychology, I offer one example of a survey instrument—developed with and through queer theoretical frames—that reflects a commitment both to statistical rigor and feminist objectivity. This instrument, the Sexual Orientation Beliefs Scale (SOBS), examines complex relationships between heterosexist attitudes and ontologies of sexuality—in other words, beliefs about what sexual orientation actually is. I argue that…

Different, Like Everyone Else
This article explores Stuff White People Like (SWPL), a popular blog that has lampooned the cultural practices of a certain kind of bourgeoisie-bohemian White person since its inception in early 2008. The overwhelmingly positive reception of the blog motivated the authors to explore the complexities of this commercial humor project in the context of the twenty-first century multicultural neoliberalism in the United States. Through analysis of bot…

Queer youth suicide and the psychopolitics of “It Gets Better”
This article investigates a mass-mediated campaign against a perceived increase in suicides among gay (or presumed-to-be-gay) youth in the USA since September 2010. “It Gets Better” (IGB) became a rallying cry for “anti-bullying” activists, politicians, celebrities and ordinary people who created YouTube videos addressed to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth who might be considering suicide. A critical discourse analysis of a sam…
