Abstract
We developed three activities to advance psychology curriculum decolonization. After integrating these into teaching spaces, we collected student feedback (N1=125,N2=57,N3=31). We found that students' motivation is influenced by perceived educational roles and ethnicity and enhanced by curriculum coherence. While diverse faculty is beneficial, passionate teaching was key for decolonial learning.
