The already small Feminist and Critical Psychology communities appear to be tiny on this platform when I search for these terms! I do realize this is a blunt approach.

So - If you’re here and working in this area, but you don’t necessarily mention feminist psychology in your bio/posts, I’d love to know you’re here and connect!

The term third world was coined during the early years of the Cold War. While it has come to he associated as a pejorative term to denote economic deprivation in African, Asian and Latin American countries the original meaning of the term was very different.

While the world was divided up into two distinctive blocs, what made a country a third world nation was not so easy to define.

The term woke/stay woke is an example of how terminology and ideas can get co-opted and depoliticised. This is why we must 'stay woke' and be alert to the policies of language.

Stay woke comarades. ✊🏿
