Div. 2 announces new listserv

The Div. 2 (Society for the Teaching of Psychology) Diversity Committee recently created a new listserv devoted to diversity and teaching in psychology: E-mail.

It will focus on issues related to infusing diversity and international perspectives into the psychology curriculum in addition to diversity-specific courses. The forum is open to all who are interested in incorporating diversity into their teaching at all levels (including high school, two-year, four-year college/university and graduate school settings). To join the listserv and share experiences, teaching strategies, resource materials, recommendations and questions, send your name and e-mail address to Linh Nguyen Littleford, PhD, at E-mail.

Educational Psychologist seeks manuscripts

Div. 15 (Educational) seeks blind, peer-reviewed manuscripts for its quarterly journal, Educational Psychologist. The journal publishes scholarly essays, reviews, critiques and articles of a theoretical/conceptual nature that contribute to the understanding of the issues, problems and research associated with the field of educational psychology. The journal, however, does not publish articles whose primary purpose is to report the methods and results of an empirical study. Visit www.editorialmanager.com/ep to view the current issue through the journal’s online submission and review system.
