Diversity

The Diversity Committee

Mission Statement

The Psychology Department at the University of Kansas seeks to recognize diverse perspectives and experiences of the members of our department, our clients, students, and the greater community. In pursuing this goal, the faculty, staff, and students strive to enhance the education, training, and impact of the psychology department. We recognize that diversity and one’s culture is an intersection of multiple identities, which includes, but is not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, able-bodiedness, health status, neurodiversity, mental and physical abilities, veteran status, family status, marital status, parental status, and national origin. We are committed to cultural humility approaches and ensuring that our department teaches students the importance of conducting research, teaching, and clinical work in a manner that supports, validates, and respects the various backgrounds of all members of the department and the University, our clients, and the community.  We also recognize the importance of self-reflection and consideration of our identities that are tied to the work and training we do.
