Exploring the term coined by Amy Edmondson and the four stages of psychological safety as defined by Timothy Clark, this session examines whether people of color (POC) and people from the global majority (PoGM) can truly experience psychological safety in  U.S. workplaces. Taking a deep dive  into the intersection of psychological safety and DEI, this session will examinehow inequitable policies, microaggressions, bias, and dominant culture workplace dynamics can prevent the expansion of psychological safety to include people from the global majority. The term Psychological Agency will be introduced to provide an alternative to people of color and folks from the global majority and explore how we can have agency on how psychological safety is defined by us and not for us.
