EMpowerment Lab

The Empowerment lab aims to uplift, center, and empower Two-spirit, trans, and nonbinary (2STNB) people as scholars, researchers, practitioners, activists, and healers within the field of psychology. In our research we aim to center our voices by including 2STNB members in our research team and collaborating with 2STNB community members. The field of psychology has a long history of pathologizing and stigmatizing 2STNB people which has led to the exclusion of our voices and experiences in research and practice that serves our community. Our goal is to disrupt this by centering 2STNB people at every stage of our research, with particular emphasis on centering Black, Indigenous, People of Color and trans feminine people.
