Catriona Ida Macleod
- ... that Catriona Ida Macleod received a Social Change Award from Rhodes University for her work in promoting African-based psychology? Source: "Catriona Macleod received the 2017 Psychology and Social Change Award from her home institution, Rhodes University, late last year in large part for recognizing and then critiquing the psychology of Africa. This critique follows two paths: criticizing the state of psychology as it fails to shuck the experiences of its colonial origins for a true African experience, and in turn nurturing a more authentic African-based psychology."

Moved to mainspace 5 Nov, nom same day-new enough; 3021 char-long enough; neutral, cited, no apparent copyvios, no image, QPQ done. Hook 131 char is below maximum; is interesting; cited in the article and confirmed by the above source (if you add to the above source note the part where it says "The Social Change Award, given to 'psychologists who have extended themselves beyond the mainstream boundaries of the discipline of psychology and sought to contribute their knowledge to social change'", i.e. she "promoted" it, not just recognizing and critiquing it.); and neutral.

The subject may meet GNG because she is the editor of a major journal, but the article itself reads like a resume. There's nothing about her early life/family, or even her research interests. The whole Student Protest section is UNDUE considering the paucity of personal information about her. Yoninah (talk) 16:51, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- Yoninah I disagree with your assessment. 1) her birthdate is given on one document, thus not really part of the public record. Disclosing her age could well impact her career. 2) It, and information on her husband and two children, are irrelevant to her notability. 3) There is a statement about her research interests in the article, "Macleod's research focuses on sexual and reproductive health and feminist theory in psychology", but I have added sources to broaden its scope and lessen the impact of the protest section, since she is a co-founder of an advocacy group for sexual and reproductive justice.
