Abstract
This paper explores the intersection of decolonization and community psychology within academic settings through the lens of collaborative autoethnography. It reflects on how colonized mindsets persist within the academy, shaping both the experiences of marginalized communities and the practices of community psychologists. The authors, drawing from their own experiences, critically examine the ways in which academia perpetuates colonial power dynamics and how collaborative autoethnography serves as a method for resistance and transformation. The study highlights the potential of community psychology to challenge these structures and advocate for more inclusive, socially just practices. By sharing personal narratives, the authors contribute to a deeper understanding of the need to decolonize both minds and institutions, fostering a more equitable academic environment.
