In this “Chile Critical Response” episode, host Natalie Kivell engages in a conversation with a diverse group of speakers, including Sam Keast, Roshani, Tiffeny Jiménez, and Juan-Camilo Riaño-Rodriguez focusing on critical community psychology in the Indonesian context, as presented by Monica Madyaningrum, Dicky Pelupessy, and Jony Yulianto.

Participants discuss the importance of cultivating historically and culturally situated knowledge in community psychology work. They share their experiences working within formal institutions that may not fully recognize or value community-based research. Ethics, relationality, and the interlinking of personal and community identities in research engagement are highlighted as central to meaningful work with communities.

The episode offers insights into the struggles faced by community psychologists in Indonesia and other places where Western psychology dominates the discourse. It emphasizes the need to rethink and reimagine psychology as a field that values diverse voices and alternative methodologies to address social and historical injustices.

The conversation emphasizes collaborative efforts to promote critical community psychology and advocate for social justice in Indonesia and beyond. Overall, the episode showcases the participants’ critical and reflexive engagement with the podcast’s themes, promoting solidarity and collaboration in the field.
