In this strange new galaxy, tales of human courage resound among the stars. Over the decades that followed, humans joined the galactic community aboard an ancient space station called the Citadel.

In their theoretical writings, these psychologists reflected upon their historical positionality, understanding themselves as products of the decolonial moment. The Westside team artfully developed and deployed the psychological concept of “bias” in their confrontations with local manifestations of the American carceral state. They offered expert testimony on the psychological damage of solitary confinement on behalf of prison activists.
