2011-2012 President
President Stephanie A. Shields, PhD, is Professor of Psychology and Women’s Studies at The Pennsylvania State University (University Park) where she coordinates the dual-title PhD in Women’s Studies and Psychology. Her presidential theme, Connections, Intersections and Coalitions: Feminist Psychology for Change, focuses on enhancing the ways SPW enables feminist psychologists to work effectively for positive social change, develop and sustain thriving networks, and make SPW strong and useful for all members. Her presidential task forces address graduate education, professional development of early and mid-career academic feminist psychologists, educating through feminist research, and gender and emotion across the lifespan.Get Involved
The Society for the Psychology of Women was established in 1973 as Division 35 of the American Psychological Association. The Society is devoted to providing an organizational base for all feminists, women and men of all national origins who are interested in teaching, research or practice in the psychology of women. Our purpose is to promote feminist scholarship and practice, and to advocate action toward public policies that advance equality and social justice. We are a voice of feminist issues within organized psychology!
It is not necessary to be a psychologist or a member of APA to join the society. All members receive the Psychology of Women Quarterly journal and the Psychology of Women Newsletter. Check out our "help wanted" section to learn about current position openings and volunteer opportunities to help the division. Once you become a member there are many ways to get involved in the society.
