Abstract

Qualitative psychological research frequently focuses on issues of inequality, and as such researchers are committed to inclusion, including in education. However, as students in higher education become more diverse, and the sector becomes increasingly motivated to decolonise curricula and enhance inclusion in the classroom, how can we draw on our expertise and methodologies to create truly inclusive education? The Teaching Qualitative Psychology (TQP) workshop provided an opportunity to reflect on how we can translate our research ethos into teaching practices, increase our students' awareness of diversity and inclusion, and practically ensure that our students feel a sense of belonging and psychological safety in our classrooms (physical and virtual). We close with a call to share resources and effective practices across the qualitative psychology teaching community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
