DR.MARGARET W.MATLIN‘S COURSE k k k k




My syllabus changes somewhat from one semester to the next, but the syllabus below is
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



k the version I used in Fall Semester, 2010. (However, the textbook for that course was
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kthe 6th edition.) I think it‘s important for a syllabus to include a brief description of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kthe course, as well as the goals. From the first page of the syllabus, students should
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kbe able to understand the general scope of the course.
k k k k k k k k k




You can find several additional syllabi for courses on the Psychology of Women or the
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kPsychology of Gender on the website for the Society for the Teaching of Psychology
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



k(Division 2 of the American Psychological Association):

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



k―Women and Gender.‖ k k




Additional note: Psychology of Women Quarterly now includes a ―Teaching Section‖ in
k k k k k k k k k k k



keach issue. It features between one and three short articles in each issue, which focus
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kon topics related to women and gender, such as critical thinking, social class, social
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kjustice advocacy. I am the current editor of this Teaching Section; please email me at
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



, if you have an idea about a potential article related to this k k k k k k k k k k k k



kteaching!

On the first day of class, students also receive a description of the Psychology of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kWomen Research Project, an important component of my course. Later in this document
k k k k k k k k k k k k



kyou can find a description of this project, as well as some details about the project.

SYLLABUS

COURSE DESCRIPTION k




The purpose of this course is to examine the lives of girls and women. We will
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



kinclude topics such as gender stereotypes, the development of gender roles, gender
k k k k k k k k k k k



kcomparisons, women and work, love relationships, sexuality, women‘s physical and
k k k k k k k k k



kmental health, violence against women, and women in later adulthood. Students who
k k k k k k k k k k k



ktake this course should acquire a better understanding about girls, women, and gender
k k k k k k k k k k k k



kin North America.
k k




As the course instructor, I‘m hopeful that each of you will work toward the following goals:
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




1. To understand the relevant information about the lives of girls and women—
k k k k k k k k k k k



as well as gender—with a particular emphasis on the complexity of the
k k k k k k k k k k k



issues.k




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



in professional journals and information described in the popular media.
k k k k k k k k k k




3. To know how to design your own psychology research project, to conduct the
k k k k k k k k k k k k



research, and to write an appropriately professional summary of your own
k k k k k k k k k k k



research, emphasizing the potential methodological flaws and strengths in your
k k k k k k k k k k



study. k




4. To explore your own ideas and attitudes about gender, appreciating that we do not
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



need to be constrained by our culture‘s traditional gender roles.
k k k k k k k k k k




5. To appreciate the inequalities that many individuals face, based on social
k k k k k k k k k k



categories other than gender. These categories include age, disability, sexual
k k k k k k k k k k



orientation, ethnicity, religion, social class, and country of residence. We will
k k k k k k k k k k k



also consider some information about inequalities in other cultures, outside
k k k k k k k k k k



North America.
