As legislation reflects faith in science as a force for improved public policy and evidence-based decision-making is encouraged in all areas of public service, the role of psychologists tend to mirror that of behavioral economists.
In this talk, Bianca Dreyer and Eric Oosenbrug discuss some of the ways more critical approaches in psychology contribute to public policy and systems change.
Specifically, they will be making the case for a strategy of systems change that promotes an integrated focus on systems and their constituent individuals, beginning by highlighting importance of considerations of social justice to psychology and providing examples of the systems change approach in health and community research from the Waterloo, Ontario Region.
