María Elena Torre, PhD, is the Founding Director of the Public Science Project and faculty member in Critical Psychology and Urban Education at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York and the Community, Liberation, Indigenous, and Eco-Psychologies doctoral program at the Pacifica Institute. A queer mama of a very cool teenager, she has been engaged in critical participatory action research nationally and internationally for nearly 30 years with communities in neighborhoods, schools, prisons, and community-based organizations fighting for structural justice. Co-author of the Essentials of Critical Participatory Action Research (APA Press) and co-editor of PAR EntreMundos: A Pedagogy of the Americas (Peter Lang), her writing and research looks at how decolonizing methodologies, radical inclusion, and a praxis of solidarity can inform a participatory public science for a just world.
