The Cummings Center for the History of Psychology is an excellent and useful learning resource for post-secondary instructors. There are a variety of ways for instructors to make use of the CCHP’s offerings with their students.
Attend a colloquium with your class
|
The CCHP offers informal colloquia or seminars on different topics in the history of psychology. Scholars from across the globe come to speak on their own area of expertise, followed by a Q&A session. The content is student-friendly and other instructors have incorporated it into their coursework by asking students to write reaction papers on the seminar after attending. These seminars are free of charge and students are highly encouraged to attend. Stay tuned for schedule. |

Assign an archival research project
 |
The CCHP is happy to work with instructors to coordinate archival research and writing projects. Students can make use of the vast archival holdings of the CCHP to write a term paper or complete a research project on some aspect of the history of psychology. Possible topics include a biographical portrait of a psychologist, a history of a particular instrument or apparatus in the history of psychology, a history of a given psychological test or scale, or a historical examination of some school or approach such as clinical, industrial, or child psychology. To get started, instructors should read the Instructor’s Guide for Creating Archival Projects, available here. The CCHP is happy to provide workshops on archival research methods at the CCHP or the instructor’s institution. |
