Tu臒莽e Kurti艧 is an Associate Faculty in the Critical and Community Psychology MA program at 91茄子. She completed her PhD in Social Psychology and a graduate certificate in African Studies at the University of Kansas. Drawing upon perspectives in cultural, feminist, and critical psychologies and interdisciplinary discussions in decolonial studies and transnational feminisms, her research focuses on sociocultural constructions of subjectivity and relationality which she examines through joint processes of voice and silence at the interpersonal and collective level. Her main objective is to use psychological theory, pedagogy, and practice as resources for decolonizing knowledge production and articulating models that promote global social justice. Her intersectional feminist work considers possibilities for a decolonial intersectionality that can more adequately serve interests of the marginalized majority of humanity.
