Redefining cultural humility
being redefined through a liberation psychologies framework
article argues for a more socially grounded and justice-oriented approach to cultural humility
cultural humility is contextualized as:
a complement or alternative to culture competence
addressing critiques raised about cultural competence frameworks

individual level: developing a critical consciousness
understand self in relation to power, privilege, structural inequity
ex: cultural immersion
interpersonal level: seeing the other
build mutual, respectful, bidirectional relationships
ex: therapists
collective level: psychosocial accompaniment
partner with communities for liberation and healing
ex: oral histories, CBPR, PBE
