The historical focus of psychology on the perspectives of a select few (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic; WEIRD) has made psychological knowledge unrepresentative of the global context. Genuine decolonising efforts that go beyond mere diversification of reading lists are the need of the hour. I intend to advance decolonisation efforts by identifying the barriers preventing the backbone of psychology, psychology research methods, from decolonising. Further, I will investigate ways to address the need for global visibility of non-WEIRD research and develop an evidence-based strategy to support broader, discipline-wide global efforts to decolonise the psychology research methods curriculum.
