Professor of Psychology
"Teaching Critical Thinking About Gender"
Thursday, February 27, 2003
'Most students arrive in classes on gender with considerable confidence that they "know" what males and females are like and why. A major aim of my teaching is to undermine confidence in unexamined assumptions and teach students to critically examine what they think they know and what they hear in the future.'
