This Week in the History of Psychology
Weekly Podcast Starts August 28, 2006

http://www.yorku.ca/christo/podcasts/ and on iTunes


"This Week in the History of Psychology" is a new weekly podcast written and produced by Christopher D. Green of York University (Toronto, Canada). The primary aim of the series is to delve a little more deeply into the discipline than textbooks typically do, while  making the experience relatively simple and enjoyable. The focus of each episode is an interview with a noted expert on a featured event that occurred during that week in psychology's past -- for instance, Malcolm Macmillan on the real story of Phineas Gage's famous head injury, Alexandra Rutherford on the public image cultivated by B. F. Skinner, and Wayne Viney on the impact of the publication of William James' Principles of Psychology. In addition, each episode begins with brief descriptions of several events from that week, and ends with a celebration of the week's birthdays and other anniversaries (most of these drawn from Warren Street's "Today in the History of Psychology" website).

Instructors of courses on the history of psychology may wish to assign the series to their students, either as the equivalent of an outside reading, as the basis for a weekly discussion period, or in some other way. Each episode is about 25 minutes in length and will be made freely available. The first episode will be launched on August 28, 2006 after which new episodes will be posted on weekly basis.  A few sample episodes have been posted in advance so that instructors may decide ahead of time whether and how to use them in their courses. These can be found as mp3 files (which can be easily downloaded and played on most computers) at http://www.yorku.ca/christo/podcasts/ . The series is also available on iTunes (search podcasts for "This Week in the History of Psychology") for download to iPods and other portable mp3 players.
