new Psychology's Feminist Voices digital exhibit: (Re)searching Traces of Feminist Psychology in Vienna

[Alexandra Rutherford]

We are excited to launch a new digital exhibit on the Psychology's Feminist Voices website - (Re)searching Traces of Feminist Psychology in Vienna.

Curated by, Emelie Rack, Nora Ruck & Desiree Salis, this exhibit showcases how feminist psychological knowledge developed in Austria in the context of the Austrian women's movement and the vast women's counseling landscape. It features profiles of feminist psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors, social workers, and psychiatrists who played a crucial role in establishing and shaping a feminist psychosocial counterculture in Vienna over the past fifty years.  We hope that through this exhibit, others will become as interested in the history of feminist psychology in Austria as we are!!

Faculty members in the Historical, Theoretical, and Critical Studies of Psychology at York University are committed to examining and changing our own practices in light of psychology's historic and current role in perpetuating anti-black racism and racist science. We are working to ensure that the HTC program curriculum (course syllabi, reading lists, etc.), at both undergraduate and graduate levels, incorporates anti-racist and decolonial scholarship and critically interrogates the racist and colonial foundations on which institutional Psychology is based. 

York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been taken care of by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.
