- Title
“BUT, THAT DOESN’T APPLY TO ME”: TEACHING COLLEGE STUDENTS TO THINK ABOUT GENDER.
- Authors
Good, Jessica J.; Moss-Racusin, Corinne A.
- Abstract
In this article the authors discuss the obstacles related to student engagement which were faced by them during the process of teaching Psychology of Gender course to college students in U.S. It is highlighted that one specific factor contributing to students' disengagement with gender topics is the stigmatization of feminism. It is reported that in response to these barriers, an experiential learning course was created to help students discover if (and how) gender works in their lives. Further, they also describe two of the experiential assignments which were employed to encourage both male and female students to consider the influence of gender in their daily lives. The article also presents students' reactions to these assignments and authors' observations of the assignments' efficacy.
