TEACHINGOTHERWISE
Teaching Otherwise is a podcast exploring teaching in psychology. We draw on philosophy, history, and the human sciences broadly to critique and explore alternatives to the assumptions and practices undergirding mainstream psychology teaching.

Narrative Psychology in Context
In this, the final episode in our series on teaching in context, we speak with Chris Head about the role of context in teaching narrative psychology.


Career Counseling in Context
This episode continues the series previewing our upcoming apa symposium on teaching contextually. Today we're talking with Erin Thrift about how she draws upon historical and theoretical context in teaching courses on career counseling. [note: there are a few brief moments of zoom lag in this recording; we left these in so the listener can hear where and why they occurr.]


Teaching Marriage in Context
This episode kicks off a series related to a symposium we will be chairing at the APA Convention this summer. The symposium explores the pedagogical value of presenting psychological knowledge in the social and historical context in which it was produced. The symposium was partly inspired by our previous episode with Donna Tafreshi, who will be on the panel, and upcoming episodes will feature each of the presenters. Today's episode is a conversation with Joe Ostenson about an assignment he is developing for his class on the psychology of marriage.


Teaching from Context
In this episode, we investigate the possible benefits of teaching in a way that emphasizes the social and historical context of the content in our courses. This episode includes some editing for time.
