Description:

This course is a critical introduction to the history and systems of psychology both within and outside of the Western world. As opposed to most histories of psychology that champion a few key figures and their contributions, this class will treat the "discipline" of psychology as a seriesof conflictual discourses and social movements involved in the production of knowledge that privilege or deconstruct the larger assemblages of power that exist in the society. Particular emphasis will be given to feminist and other marginalized discourses within psychology.
