Assignment - Imagined Conversations: Women Past and Feminist Presence

The purpose of this assignment is to have you familiarize yourself more deeply with women in psychology/gender issues in psychology and to develop the ability to historically contextualize the experiences and contributions of psychologists.

For this assignment, you will be required to write an imagined conversation between a psychologist you select from the Women Past section of the Psychology's Feminist Voices website (https://www.feministvoices.com), and a psychologist you select from the Feminist
Presence part of the site. You are free to pick any two psychologists, but you must have a rationale for the pairing - that is, why would these two psychologists be interesting to put "in conversation"?

Possible rationales for pairing include similarities or differences with respect to social location, research topic, methodological orientation, political values, etc.

You should read all of the material about each psychologist that is available at their respective profile pages, and any other secondary literature that you think is necessary for constructing this imagined conversation. Note that there are extensive lists of secondary sources that you could consult at the Resources link on both Women Past and Feminist Presence homepages. Note also that your textbook chapter on the science and politics of gender (Chapter 11) would also be a good source for background information, and there is a 40-minute video at the site entitled The Changing Face of Feminist Psychology that you can also consult.

Preface your conversation with a brief introduction in which you 1) identify and describe your two speakers (where and when do/did they work, in what area of psychology, on what topics), and 2) present the rationale for your pairing. Your elaboration of these two points should take up about one page.

Then, assume that the two speakers are located in their own historical period and place but can communicate across time. What would they each like to know about the other's experiences? What has changed in psychology, what has remained the same? Have they faced similar or different challenges and why? What observations might each have of the other's career and their specific lines of research or practice? Make sure the conversation is bi-directional (that information flows both ways) and is historically and contextually accurate.
