DR. MARGARET W. MATLIN’S COURSE hu hu hu hu




My syllabus changes somewhat from one semester to the next, but the
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


syllabus below is the version I used in Fall Semester, 2010. (However,
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


the textbook for that course was the 6th edition.) I think it’s important for
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u


a syllabus to include a brief description of the course, as well as the
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


goals. From the first page of the syllabus, students should be able to
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


understand the general scope of the course.
hu h u h u h u h u h u h u




You can find several additional syllabi for courses on the Psychology of
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


Women or the Psychology of Gender on the website for the Society for
h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


the Teaching of Psychology (Division 2 of the American Psychological
h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u


Association): http://teachpsych.org/otrp/syllabi/index.php
h u hu


Scroll down the list of courses on the right-hand side, and you will find the
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


topic “Women and Gender.”
h u h u hu h u




Additional note: Psychology of Women Quarterly now includes a “Teaching
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


Section” in each issue. It features between one and three short articles in
h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


each issue, which focus on topics related to women and gender, such as
h u h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


critical thinking, social class, social justice advocacy. I am the current editor
h u h u h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u


of this Teaching Section; please email me at , if you
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u hu h u h u


have an idea about a potential article related to this teaching!
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u




On the first day of class, students also receive a description of the
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


Psychology of Women Research Project, an important component of my
h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u


course. Later in this document you can find a description of this project,
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u


as well as some details about the project.

SYLLABUS

COURSE h u DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this course is to examine the lives of girls and women.
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


We will include topics such as gender stereotypes, the development of
h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


gender roles, gender comparisons, women and work, love relationships,
h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u


sexuality, women’s physical and mental health, violence against women, and
h u h u h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u


women in later adulthood. Students who take this course should acquire a
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u hu h u h u


better understanding about girls, women, and gender in North America.
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u




As the course instructor, I’m hopeful that each of you will work toward the
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


following goals:
h u h u




1. To understand the relevant information about the lives of girls and
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


women—as well as gender—with a particular emphasis on the
h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


complexity of the issues.
h u h u h u h u




2. To develop critical-thinking skills, so that you can evaluate both the
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


research in professional journals and information described in the
h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u


popular media.
h u h u




3. To know how to design your own psychology research project, to
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


conduct the research, and to write an appropriately professional summary
h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


of your own research, emphasizing the potential methodological flaws
h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u


and strengths in your study.
h u h u h u h u h u




4. To explore your own ideas and attitudes about gender, appreciating that we
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


do not need to be constrained by our culture’s traditional gender roles.
h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u




5. To appreciate the inequalities that many individuals face, based on
h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u h u


social categories other than gender. These categories include age,
h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u h u


disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, social class, and country
h u h u h u hu h u h u h u h u h u


of residence. We will also consider some information about inequalities
h u h u h u h u h u h u hu h u h u h u


in other cultures, outside North America.
