Developmental Brown Bag: Culture, Development, and Academic Capitalism: Un Testimonio
Dr. José M. Causadias, Associate Professor, School of Social and Family Dynamics, Arizona State University
In this talk, I discuss how academic capitalism hampers our understanding of the role of culture in human development. I define academic capitalism as an economic system focused on the accumulation of grants, publications, and awards that reflects, neglects, and reinforces structural social problems such as gendered racism and colonialism. I focus on how academic capitalism impedes progress in cultural theory, measurement, and interventions in human development. To illustrate these arguments, I use testimonio, a method rooted in Latinx cultures and liberation psychology (Cervantes, 2020).
