Summary
The history of psychology has often been taught from a largely Euro-American perspective, and has emphasized the contributions of white European and American men. This history has also frequently involved the imposition of mainstream methodologies and idea on various cultural contexts, too often at the expense of indigenous ideas and psychologies. In this chapter, the author discusses cultural perspectives on the history of the field, and presents examples of the contributions of women and cultural and ethnic groups that can be incorporated into the history course. The chapter concludes with descriptions of teaching activities and resources for integration of culture in the teaching of history of psychology.
