In the season premiere of Psychology and Stuff, Dr. Alison Jane Martingano interviews Dr. Lisa Lamson, a historian at UW-Green Bay, about the intersection of history and psychology. They discuss Dr. Lamson's research on Black childhood and schooling in 19th-century Baltimore, exploring how historical empathy allows for a deeper understanding of the past without projecting modern-day emotions. Dr. Lamson also reflects on the complexities of working with archival materials and how historical context plays a key role in developing informed and responsible citizens today.
