TEACHING DIVERSITY: What Can History Offer?
نویسنده
چکیده
To highlight how historical scholarship can be used to teach students about a range of topics in psychology, I have chosen three sample articles from the journal History of Psychology that address gender, race/ethnicity, and the intersection of sexuality and disability in historical perspective. I outline how these articles can be incorporated into courses across the curriculum to deepen students’ understanding of how psychology and psychologists have grappled with these issues and how historical analyses can inform contemporary topics and debates. I suggest that historical scholarship offers a rich and often untapped resource for instructors who wish to engage students in critical conversations about diversity issues across the psychology curriculum.

متن کاملMainstreaming AIED into Education?
What will Education look like in 2010, and what will be its problems? Will AIED have anything substantial to offer, and what can we do to maximise its contributions?
