We are continuing to live in unsettling times that demand responses from researchers, scholars and activists to create and mobilise knowledge for liberation, wellbeing, and justice. This commentary draws from my lived experience and research in migration that I use to highlight the rootshock of displacement and the contributions of community psychology to understand these impacts. The commentary invites engagement with the decolonial turn, the need to examine longer histories of colonization and imperialism and how these continue to shape understandings of self and others, and intergroup relations. The commentary also emphasizes decoloniality as a movement of embrace that involves expanding our ecologies of knowledge and practice to support critical solidarities for liberation, wellbeing, and justice.
我们仍生活在动荡不安的时代，这要求研究人员、学者和行动主义者做出回应，以创造和动员知识，实现解放、福祉和正义。这篇评论源自我在移民领域的生活经历和研究，我用它来强调流离失所带来的根本性冲击，以及社区心理学在理解这些影响方面所做的贡献。这篇评论呼吁人们参与去殖民化转向，审视殖民主义和帝国主义更长久的历史，以及它们如何持续塑造对自我和他人的理解，以及群体间关系。该评论还强调去殖民化是一种包容的运动，包括扩展我们的知识和实践生态，以支持为解放、福祉和正义而建立的批判性团结。
