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


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


lthe 6th edition.) I think it‘s important for a syllabus to include a brief description of the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


lcourse, as well as the goals. From the first page of the syllabus, students should be
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


lable to understand the general scope of the course.
l l l l l l l l




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


lPsychology of Gender on the website for the Society for the Teaching of Psychology
l l l l l l l l l l l l l


l(Division 2 of the American Psychological Association): l l l l l l


lhttp://teachpsych.org/otrp/syllabi/index.php
Scroll down the list of courses on the right-hand side, and you will find the topic
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


l―Women and Gender.‖ l l




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


leach issue. It features between one and three short articles in each issue, which focus
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


lon topics related to women and gender, such as critical thinking, social class, social
l l l l l l l l l l l l l


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


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


lteaching!

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


lWomen Research Project, an important component of my course. Later in this document
l l l l l l l l l l l l


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

SYLLABUS

COURSE DESCRIPTION l




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


include topics such as gender stereotypes, the development of gender roles, gender
l l l l l l l l l l l l


comparisons, women and work, love relationships, sexuality, women‘s physical and
l l l l l l l l l l


mental health, violence against women, and women in later adulthood. Students who
l l l l l l l l l l l l


take this course should acquire a better understanding about girls, women, and gender
l l l l l l l l l l l l l


in North America.
l l l




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




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


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


issues. l




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


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




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


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


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


study. l




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


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




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


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


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


also consider some information about inequalities in other cultures, outside North
l l l l l l l l l l l


America. l
