In the spirit of America’s Shakespeare, August Wilson (1997), I have written this article as a testimony to the conditions under which I, and too many others, engage in scholarly discourse. I hope to make clear from the beginning that although the ideas presented here are not entirely my own—as they have been inherited from the minority of scholars who dared and managed to bring the most necessary, unpalatable, and unsettling truths about our discipline to the broader scientific community—I do not write for anyone but myself and those scholars who have felt similarly marginalized, oppressed, and silenced. And I write as a race scholar, meaning simply that I believe that race—and racism—affects the sociopolitical conditions in which humans, and scholars, develop their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I believe that it is important for all scholars to have a basic understanding of these conditions, as well as the landmines and pitfalls that define them, as they shape how research is conducted, reviewed, and disseminated. I also believe that to evolve one’s discipline into one that is truly robust and objective, it must first become diverse and self-aware. Any effort to suggest otherwise, no matter how scholarly it might present itself, is intellectually unsound.

应对心理学的多样性：科学与意识形态


本着美国莎士比亚奥古斯特·威尔逊（August Wilson，1997）的精神，我写了这篇文章，以证明我和许多其他人从事学术讨论的条件。我希望从一开始就明确指出，尽管这里提出的想法并不完全是我自己的，因为它们是从少数学者那里继承下来的，他们敢于并设法将我们学科中最必要的、令人不快的和令人不安的真理带入学术界。更广泛的科学界——除了我自己和那些同样感到被边缘化、压迫和沉默的学者之外，我不为任何人写作。我作为一名种族学者写作，意思很简单，我相信种族和种族主义影响着人类和学者发展他们的思想、感情和行动的社会政治条件。我认为，对于所有学者来说，对这些条件以及定义它们的地雷和陷阱有基本的了解非常重要，因为它们决定了研究的进行、审查和传播方式。我还相信，要将一个学科发展成为真正强大和客观的学科，它必须首先变得多样化和自我意识。任何提出相反建议的努力，无论它看起来多么学术性，在理智上都是不合理的。
