Simply advocating for more training isn’t enough, as educational institutions also can deploy anti-intellectualism ways. Combating anti-intellectualism requires us to actively and consistently problem ourselves — even when new questions or different perspectives cause discomfort. Similarly, by pointing out historical lack of BIPOC and female, non-binary, and trans consideration when formulating analysis and requirements, professionals problem the mental canon within their trade or self-discipline (e.g., decolonizing psychotherapy and psychiatry). Deficits in inclusivity aren’t raised to discredit their field of work; these questions assist explain how exclusion contributes to real-world issues (e.g., misdiagnosed or undiagnosed autism and ADHD in women and girls, or pointless racial re-traumatization during counseling).
