Very excited to be speaking at the EPMC community learning day on 9th January.

I've often held off talking about my personal experiences in a professional context, but the state of the system makes it more urgent.

"What does the welfare system take from families"

See you there #edpsychs

We’re holding our first Community Learning Day on the theme of Psychology and Inequality - 9th Jan 2026!

We’d particularly like to hear from those who have lived experience in relation to inequality and psychology

Educational Psychologists for Material Change believe that inequality is produced and reproduced by the system in which we all live. We believe that to end inequality, material change is needed at a systemic level to redistribute wealth and power more equitably across society. This can be done through activism, at both the parliamentary and extra-parliamentary level. But we also think that consciousness and awareness raising plays an important role too. This is why we have decided to hold our first Community Learning Day, on the theme of Inequality and Psychology, on the 9 of January 2026. This will be a virtual event We are interested in hearing from educational psychologists and others in the fields of psychology and education who would like to present on this topic. We are particularly interested in centring the voices of those who have direct, lived experience of inequality in any and all of its forms. If you are interested please send us a title and brief outline of the talk you propose to deliver to epsformaterialchange@gmail.com Whilst we are in the early planning stages of this event, any fundraising done will be based on the following principles: - The event will be free to those who cannot afford to pay. - Those who can afford to pay may be asked to donate. - Any money raised will go towards a cause that helps to challenge inequality. Thanks The EPMC Steering Group
