Since then he has taught vir- tually every course in the psychology curriculum in his academic odys- sey from the University of Redlands in Redlands, California, and the now-closed Teikyo Marycrest University (formerly Marycrest College in Davenport, Iowa) to—for the past 17 years—Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, alma mater of Bruce Jenner and, more famously for the history of psychology, of Noble H.

Dr. Devonis has been a member of Cheiron: The International Society for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences since 1990, a con- tributor to many of its activities, and its treasurer for the past 10 years.

Additionally, my altruistic values provide me with a strong sense of duty to do the right thing at the same time that I believe it is my responsibility to help others, especially because I have been afforded the luxury of a college education although many others do not share this privilege. Under those circumstances, I wanted to speak on the issue of inequal representation of diverse identities, with special attention to the branches of science which historically refused to give due credit to individuals other than straight, white men.

    A Teaching Guide for History of Psychology www.feministvoices.com 1 Psychology’s Feminist Voices in the Classroom A Teaching Guide for the History of Psychology Instructor Compiled by Jennifer Bazar, Elissa Rodkey, and Jacy Young One of the goals of Psychology’s Feminist Voices is to serve as a teaching resource. To facilitate the process of incorporating PFV into the History of Psychology course, we have created this document. Below you will find two primary sections: (1) Lectures and (2) Assignments. (1) Lectures: In this section you will find subject headings of topics often covered in History of Psychology courses. Under each heading, we have provided an example of the relevant career, research, and/or life experiences of a woman featured on the Psychology’s Feminist Voices site that would augment a lecture on that particular topic. Below this description is a list of additional women whose histories would be well-suited to lectures on that topic. (2) Assignments: In this section you will find several suggestions for assignments that draw on the material and content available on Psychology’s Feminist Voices that you can use in your History of Psychology course. The material in this guide is intended only as a suggestion and should not be read as a “complete” list of all the ways Psychology’s Feminist Voices could be used in your courses. We would love to hear all of the different ideas you think of for how to include the site in your classroom - please share you thoughts with us by emailing Alexandra Rutherford, our project coordinator,
