Corrupting The Youth: Teaching of Psychology

Hiiiii, Corrupters!

In this episode we tackle the topic of learning objectives. Having just prepped syllabi for our fall courses, this one was fresh on our minds! We discuss backward design, Bloom’s taxonomy, and even mention ungrading a time or two…of course.

Hope you enjoy!

Have you ever heard someone say, “You have to go to graduate school to get a job with a psychology degree!”

…Yeah, we’ve heard that before, too. And it is NOT true! In this episode, Jacob and I talk about career advising for undergraduate students and discuss ways we can do better at preparing undergrads for the workforce.

With a new academic year starting, so does the 2nd Season of this Podcast. After enjoying a (relatively busy) summer, Cassie and I are ready to take the podcasting world by storm. Sort of.

In this episode, we catch up with what's been going on in our lives. We also dedicate this episode to bell hooks and their philosophy of "Teaching to Transgress". We talk about revolting against the status quo and how to manage students who want to use the classroom as their personal therapy session. Notably, I am not entirely convinced by all of hooks' claims (i.e., using sexual/libido energy as part of education).

Hope you enjoy our discussion,

Jacob

Hello hello hello, beautiful people!

Cassie and I have just finished interviewing two outstanding professors who switch off leading the Teaching of Psychology (ToP) course. Dr. Gilpin is a cognitive-developmental psychologist who studies imagination/pretend play and is the Director of Graduate Programs, Dr. Tullett is a well-known name in the open science community, a seasoned podcast host, and our mentor.

We discuss their teaching background, what ToP means to them, common challenges they face when teaching pedagogy to nascent instructors, and times they have made mistakes. In this episode, you'll find Y2K references, clowns, being pelleted by bouncy toy balls, and much more! Hope you enjoy it,

Jacob

Hello folks,

Jacob here! In this episode, we talk about Recent achievements, the importance of qualitative work, the motivation of podcast listeners, Oscar the Cat, how social psychology became the face of the crisis, and how we deal with that information in our own teaching.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hey Corrupters,

Jacob and I have been chatting a lot about mental health recently, and we'd thought it'd make for a good podcast topic, too. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do as a teacher to best support your students as they struggle with mental health issues, and given the mental health crisis in higher education, we are sure this is something a lot of instructors think about. We hope these stories and pieces of advice help!

Hi, Corrupters!

Happy belated April Fool’s Day! In that spirit, in this week’s (hopefully) entertaining episode, Jacob and I discuss some of the times we looked like complete idiots in front of our students. Related to that, we also talk about some things not to do as a teacher.

Thanks for listening!

Hi again, Corrupters!

This week Jacob and I have a frank discussion about burnout in academia. One topic we touch on is compassionate teaching and how it's important but can be exhausting, especially considering the backdrop of our current world. If you are, or have ever felt, burnt out, this one's for you.

Hey there, corrupters! (Is that, like, a cool name to call our listeners or is it cringe?? Please let me know.)

In this episode, Jacob and I discuss being queer and what it means for us as teachers and academics working in higher education. As some of you probably know, being LGBTQIA+ isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and we talk about methods of cultivating safer, happier spaces for queer students. We also spend some time talking about the need for substantive, intersectional advocacy, and barriers we often face.

Whether you’re queer, an ally, or someone who is figuring things out, we hope this episode gives you some stuff to think about and reflect on.

See you in the next one!

Cassie here (finally)!

In this episode, Jacob and I chat about incentive structures in academia, and how it often feels like research is viewed as more important – and a more admirable skill – than teaching. We tackle questions like: What are some ways we can combat the current incentive structure that doesn’t always reward innovative pedagogy? And how do deal with our personal feelings about this?

Thanks for listening!
