Conclusion
Abstract
Critical psychology has historically been a space for interrogating systems of power, inequality and marginalisation. The series of books coordinated by Ian Parker exemplifies this tradition, offering crucial insights into issues of ideology, subjectivity and resistance. However, the value of such work increases exponentially when it does not merely study others but also studies ourselves, our working conditions, our ambitions, our complicities. This reflexive move allows critical psychology to practice what it preaches: to challenge hierarchies and oppressive logics not only in the world but within its own scholarly practices.
