SYLLABUS FROM
DR. MARGARET W. MATLIN’S COURSE
My Syllabus Changes Somewhat From One Semester To The Next, But The Syllabus
Below Is The Version I Used In Fall Semester, 2010. (However, The Textbook For That
Course Was The 6th Edition.) I Think It’s Important For A Syllabus To Include A Brief
Description Of The Course, As Well As The Goals. From The First Page Of The Syllabus,
Students Should Be Able To Understand The General Scope Of The Course.
You Can Find Several Additional Syllabi For Courses On The Psychology Of Women Or
The Psychology Of Gender On The Website For The Society For The Teaching Of
Psychology (Division 2 Of The American Psychological Association):
Http://Teachpsych.Org/Otrp/Syllabi/Index.Php
Scroll Down The List Of Courses On The Right-Hand Side, And You Will Find The Topic
“Women And Gender.”
Additional Note: Psychology Of Women Quarterly Now Includes A “Teaching Section” In
Each Issue. It Features Between One And Three Short Articles In Each Issue, Which
Focus On Topics Related To Women And Gender, Such As Critical Thinking, Social
Class, Social Justice Advocacy. I Am The Current Editor Of This Teaching Section;
Please Email Me At , If You Have An Idea About A Potential
Article Related To This Teaching!
On The First Day Of Class, Students Also Receive A Description Of The Psychology Of
Women Research Project, An Important Component Of My Course. Later In This
Document You Can Find A Description Of This Project, As Well As Some Details About
The Project.

SYLLABUS
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Purpose Of This Course Is To Examine The Lives Of Girls And Women. We Will
Include Topics Such As Gender Stereotypes, The Development Of Gender Roles,
Gender Comparisons, Women And Work, Love Relationships, Sexuality, Women’s
Physical And Mental Health, Violence Against Women, And Women In Later
Adulthood. Students Who Take This Course Should Acquire A Better Understanding
About Girls, Women, And Gender In North America.
As The Course Instructor, I’m Hopeful That Each Of You Will Work Toward The Following
Goals:
1. To Understand The Relevant Information About The Lives Of Girls And
Women—As Well As Gender—With A Particular Emphasis On The
Complexity Of The Issues.
2. To Develop Critical-Thinking Skills, So That You Can Evaluate Both The Research
In Professional Journals And Information Described In The Popular Media.
3. To Know How To Design Your Own Psychology Research Project, To Conduct The
Research, And To Write An Appropriately Professional Summary Of Your Own
Research, Emphasizing The Potential Methodological Flaws And Strengths In Your
Study.
4. To Explore Your Own Ideas And Attitudes About Gender, Appreciating That We Do
Not Need To Be Constrained By Our Culture’s Traditional Gender Roles.
5. To Appreciate The Inequalities That Many Individuals Face, Based On Social
Categories Other Than Gender. These Categories Include Age, Disability, Sexual
Orientation, Ethnicity, Religion, Social Class, And Country Of Residence. We Will
Also Consider Some Information About Inequalities In Other Cultures, Outside
North America.
