Psychology’s Feminst Voices Oral History and Digital Archive
York University
The Psychology’s Feminist Voices initiative documents and analyzes the relationship between feminism and psychology. We interview and profile scholars from all over the world who have brought feminist critique to bear on the epistemology, methodology, theories, and practices of mainstream psychology. Over 200 original interviews and profiles of feminist psychologists are available: http://www.feministvoices.com/presence. The website also houses over 150 original profiles of women in the history of psychology from its inception as a scientific discipline, thus facilitating the critical reconstruction of psychology’s history from the point of view of women and with attention to the influence of gendering on the development of the discipline: http://www.feministvoices.com/past. The site houses extensive bibliographies, teaching tools, and original videos on the history of feminist psychology, intersectionality, feminist research methods, and women’s mental health and feminist therapy. We have also produced a video series called Gender Matters: Using Gender-Based Analysis in Psychology (see https://feministvoices.com/projects/gender-based-analysis), which conveys how to identify and critically examine the influence of gender norms, stereotypes, and assumptions on the research process.
