Task Force on Racial Justice
With recent international protests for racial justice, there has been a new period of self-reflection within the academy about its lack of racial diversity. African-American, Latinx, and Indigenous scholars are missing at the faculty and graduate level, and this problem is especially acute in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. In order to ameliorate this inequity in representation, the Psychonomic Society has established a Task Force on Racial Justice. A first step is to form a working group who will join with us to propose concrete actions with the goal of increasing racial diversity in the field of cognitive psychology -- actions that can be taken by the field and by psychology departments more broadly.

This task force completed its duties at the end of 2024 with recommendations to the Governing Board.
