A brief history of personality psychometrics on The Conversation

Academic journalism site The Conversation posted a short piece on personality testing that touches on the context-boundedness and reflexive aspects of such measures and how they relate to the history of the field more generally. Titled Psychology by numbers: a brief history of personality tests (and written by Chris Millard, a Wellcome Trust Medical Humanities Research Fellow), it’s an example of popularization that is both straightforward but still relatively sophisticated; it could work well as a teaching resource.

Feminist Psychology Resources

pfvHappy first Friday of the (academic) year!

A quick crosspost from our York ally Psychology’s Feminist Voices facebook account, highlighting their website’s Resources page. Helpful for teaching and research alike, these offerings include bibliographies, teaching resources, websites, archives, and mapping herstory.

And I’ll take the opportunity to mention our Resources page as well, which rounds up bibliographies, blogs, journals, podcasts, schools, and much more for your convenience.
