Eleven scholarships will be awarded to graduate students who want to attend the workshop free of charge.

The purpose of this introductory workshop will be to assist psychologists in developing course work on the psychology of men using the theoretical and empirical literature on men and masculinity. Participants will learn basic knowledge on how to create a psychology of men course or how to infuse this content into existing courses on gender or the psychology of women. Each presenter will share their syllabi, reading materials, class manuals, evaluation processes, and other resources. The workshop will discuss pedagogical processes such as traditional lecturing, psychoeducational techniques, group discussion approaches, use of video media, student assessment techniques, managing classroom problems, and the infusion of diversity and multiculturalism as critical content.

The teaching faculty for the workshop include: James M. O'Neil, Ph.D, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT; Christopher Kilmartin, Ph.D, Mary Washington University, Fredericksburg, VA; James Mahalik, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA.
