What are some emerging career fields in psychology, and how can I prepare for them?

The world is rapidly changing, and it can be hard to predict the needs of our societies in the future. That said, being able to articulate your knowledge and competencies across contexts can be very helpful, allowing you to make a quick pivot if needed. Psychological science is relevant as we explore emerging topics such as the impacts of space travel on cognition and mental health, benefits and drawbacks of remote work, impacts across industries related to artificial intelligence, the effective design of physical spaces to meet human needs, risks of misinformation, and questions more broadly about how to support individuals in such a way that they can belong, thrive, and flourish. This is of course a limited list—hopefully this resource has demonstrated just how broadly psychology impacts the world around us.
