Mary Roth Walsh Teaching the Psychology of Women Award

The Mary Roth Walsh Teaching the Psychology of Women Award is an award sponsored by Div. 35 in honor of the late Mary Roth Walsh. Walsh was the founder of the Teaching the Psychology of Women Institute, the author of several texts and a committed teacher devoted to promoting the psychology of women.

We are looking for individuals who have devised a creative approach, exercise or assignment for increasing diversity in teaching the psychology of women or gender. Diversity includes, but is not limited to, race, class, ethnicity, sexual orientation and ablebodiedness.

All junior faculty who are members of the Society for the Psychology of Women (or whose application for membership is currently being submitted) are eligible. This includes graduate students teaching psychology of women or gender courses.

To apply, please submit a written description (no more than 750 words) of an exercise, assignment or teaching strategy that enhances diversity in a psychology of women or gender course and a copy of your current CV to this year's award chair, Desdamona Rios, PhD.
