Description

Beginning with philosophical and physiological ideas, and methods of historical inquiry, this course moves beyond the “great men and their ideas” approach to the “scientists in their historical, social, and cultural context.” It will tell the story of psychology’s historical and philosophical development with an emphasis on sociocultural context, such as the history of psychology in other countries/cultural contexts, the role of gender, race, economics, and social justice in the science of psychology, and historical misunderstandings in psychology.
