The focus for this course is the evolution of various contemporary psychological concepts and practices, with the goal of providing students with an opportunity for critical reflection on the role historical, social, and cultural contexts have on these. It begins with a general introduction to the intersection of psychology, historiography, and philosophy of science. Students learn about the development of Psychology in North America and Europe as characterized by their various methods and theories. Discussions range across topics from all areas of Psychology, and may include: the history of statistics, mental testing, psychotherapy, gender, and consciousness. Students are encouraged to reflect upon the implications of these discussions for their areas of Honours research. Debates over how current research should proceed with regard to these topics are also addressed. Course enrollment is restricted to Psychology Honours students. Completion of PSY 3020 is recommended but not required. Note: This course does not meet any psychology area requirement, and does not meet the requirement for taking a 4000-level course. 08-09-2022-22-12-2022 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 11:30AM - 12:45PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 508
