“…It is well‐established that women‐centered spaces, particularly women‐centric universities, have a long history of benefits for women's advancement and well‐being (e.g., Renn, 2017), and scholars have argued for establishing women‐positive institutions within coed institutions, which includes mentoring women faculty at all career stages (Caplan, 2018). Given the benefits of women‐centric universities and recommendations for women‐positive practices, institutionally supported women‐centered writing spaces have potential to mitigate disparities in women's tenure and promotion rates and enhance the quality of life for women faculty.…”

The pervasiveness of sexism and misogyny and their harmful effects in academic contexts is well established, with scholars labeling women faculty's experiences of marginalization, devaluation, and exclusion as the "chilly climate" of the academy. Despite decades of intervention and research, the question remains: How can the chilly climate be mitigated? In the present focused ethnography, we examined a feminist, women-centered faculty writing program at a US university that offered relief from the frigid temperatures by fostering a sanctioned space for women faculty to set aside their care work and to experience psychological safety, which, in turn, encouraged them to feel positive emotions regarding their writing and research. In addition to being impactful, the writing program is a feasible and easily adaptable intervention.

“…In their list, book reviews are listed 13th just above "newsletter reports" and "in-house papers" (p. 135). According to Caplan (1995), book reviews should be listed last among your publications on your curriculum vitae (CV) in the same category as "newspaper, and magazine articles" (p. 123).There is some truth to the reasons to avoid book reviews. However, as we argue below, there is a cogent case to be made that the many benefits of writing book reviews outweigh the reasons for avoiding them.…”

It is common within academia to hear that scholars and students should avoid writing book reviews. They are not peer-reviewed, can take a lot of time, and are often considered less prestigious than other forms of academic publishing. However, we make the case—as two scholars with experience as Book and Media Editors––that not only are book reviews a legitimate and important form of academic publishing, but the many benefits of writing book reviews outweigh the reasons for avoiding them. These benefits include having access to cutting-edge books, honing one’s skill in scholarly synthesis and communication, gaining experience with the academic publishing process, and providing service to one’s academic field. In this Writer’s Forum, we illuminate these and more reasons for doing book reviews and encourage readers of all stages of their academic careers to consider writing book reviews.

“…She or he steps into the position of an advocate, which is assumed to be a violation of forensic psychology ethics (because the role of advocate is reserved for the attorney whose task it is to advocate). This sort of challenge is frequently raised to feminist educators in more usual settings, such as the university classroom (Caplan, 1994). The underlying yet misleading assumption in such challenges is that one can only educate when one is detached from the information delivered and that no bias adheres to the choices of what information is chosen to be delivered or the manner in which the information is framed to the students (see Kitchener, chap.…”

Practicing Feminist Ethics in Psychology.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Forensic psychology is defined as the practice of psychology by "any psychologist, experimental or clinical, who specializes in producing or communicating psychological research or assessment information intended for application to legal issues" (Grisso, 1987, p. 831). In practice, psychologists and other mental health professionals are called on by the courts for a myriad of reasons. These include, among others, assessment of mental competency of criminal defendants, evaluation of parental capacities in custody cases, education of juries and judges as to human memory capacity, and analysis of psychological harm arising from trauma or discrimination. Forensic psychologists may also practice outside of the courtroom, consulting on jury I give credit and thanks to those colleagues who have been my mentors and consultants in feminist forensic practice and with whom I have had the chance to develop my thinking on ethics in this field. Lenore Walker and Lynne Bravo Rosewater were initial and ongoing mentors and role models, and both contributed directly to the development of this chapter, with frank input on their conflicting views about the Simpson case. I thank them both for their candor and their trust in my ability to treat this issue fairly. Shirley Feldman-Summers, Susan (Shad) Raab-Cohen, Deborah Frank Murray, and Rebecca Saltonstall were members of my initial feminist forensic consultation group, and Shirley remains my ongoing consultant.
