This webinar explores the challenges psychology educators face when teaching about sex and gender.
We will review current concerns that psychology educators have about teaching sex and gender-related content within U.K. Undergraduate Psychology programmes, and consider how we can work through these challenges. During the webinar, we will seek to clarify the use of terms such as sex, gender, sex/gender, and gender/sex, identify where these topics appear in undergraduate psychology curricula, and share reflections and practical advice on delivering education that is accurate, empirically-supported, and just.
