University curricula cannot be decolonised unless research is, too

Drawback is, if we want to diversify our curricula properly, we need to ditch the divisive language of 'decolonising' and demonising the long heritage of academic thought that has been rooted in white/Western ideas. Think instead of widening and enhancing it by adding in the neglected materials from other ethnicies, other parts of the globe. This enriches the curriculum for all of us irrespective of location or ethnicity. We human beings are all branches of the same tree, we all spring from the same roots.

This discrimination against non-WEIRD samples in research is real. Despite editors of journal *claiming* to push towards publishing research with more diverse samples, the research is still primarily WEIRD: https://www.pnas.org/content/115/45/11401/tab-article-info https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40806-019-00192-2 In addition, research using non-WEIRD samples are less likely to be cited than research sampling WEIRD samples, and this might exacerbate these research being less likely to be accepted for publication: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/19485506211024036

Psychological research is not research to me. It is social sciences.
