ABSTRACT

Multicultural sport psychology practice has garnered importance in the field over the past decades, yet practices in teaching, research, and consultancy have not been integrated fully. 2020 was a year of two pandemics: a racial injustice pandemic and the COVID SARS pandemic. A prevailing positive consequence has been that practitioners have started to have “difficult” conversations with themselves, their peers, and clients about social injustice and consider multicultural practices. This chapter illuminates social injustice and the need for multicultural and inclusive interventions from an intersectional racial and ethnic lens and considers several theories for practitioners working with clients of diverse belonging. In this chapter, guidance and advice are also given on how to broach conversations with cultural humility, and practitioners are provided practical interventions to promote diversity and inclusion.
