Fellow Teachers of the History of Psychology,
Just a friendly reminder, as you are putting together your courses for
the fall term, of the various on-line resources I have developed that
you might consider adding to your syllabus.
The newest member of the family is the Advances in the History of
Psychology -- http://ahp.yorku.ca/ -- a daily (almost) blog, written by
Jeremy Burman and I. AHP contains news items relevant to the history of
psychology drawn from journals, conferences, other internet sites, the
general news, and anywhere else we can find them.
Coming soon is the second and final part of my video documentary history
of American Functionalist psychology entitled, "A School of Their Own."
It covers roughly 1898-1920, and will be launched at the APA meeting
next week -- Sun, 1-2 pm, Moscone 250. I will be distributing DVD
copies at the convention (only $5 each!). I will also be posting a
small-window copy on Google Video after the convention. You can find the
first part of the documentary about the history of functionalism --
"Toward a School of Their Own,
http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=1488007330440945673 -- on Google
Video now. It covers the years 1859-1898. My first video documentary --
"An Academy in Crisis: The Hiring of James Mark Baldwin and James Gibson
Hume at the University of Toronto in 1889,"
http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=31528576023114946 -- can be found
on Google Video as well. (It is a "local" topic, to be sure, that may
not be of great interest to many outside of the Toronto area, but it can
be presented as an example of how social and political factors have
sometimes historically trumped intellectual ones, even in an academic
setting.)
This Week in the History of Psychology --
http://www.yorku.ca/christo/podcasts/ -- is a 30-episode podcast series
produced last year. Each show is about 25 minutes in length, and
features an interview with a working historian of psychology on a
featured topic in his or her area of expertise -- available at iTunes
as well. (I'll also be speaking at an APA plenary session about the
making of this podcast series -- Sat, 12-2 pm, Moscone 301)
...and still, after more than a decade in operation, there is, of course:
Classics in the History of Psychology -- http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/
-- (free access to ~250 historically significant articles, chapter, and
books)
Have a happy semester. I hope to see you in San Francisco.
Regards,
Chris
