Description
Summary:"Teaching a Psychology of People: Resources for Gender and Sociocultural Awareness" fills an important and much needed place in raising the consciousness of psychologists who teach undergraduates. Psychology does not have an admirable record in educating students about the importance of social-environmental factors (particularly the role of gender, race, and ethnic forces) in behavior. The history of prejudice, long part of the teaching by psychologists, is cause for shame and repentance. It is past time that psychology courses undo the damage that has been done.
