Abstract

Psychology is an unusual subject: we ask our students to scientifically and objectively study all aspects of what it means to be human, whilst they also experience those same human phenomena in their everyday lives. Psychological literacy is defined as the ability to intentionally apply psychology to personal, professional, and societal goals, and so provides an explicit link between academic study and human experience. It offers an opportunity for students to reflect on their lived experiences, and to critically reflect on both what those experiences can tell them about psychology, and what psychology can provide to equip them to make a difference to their own lives, their employability, and their communities. This enables us to integrate teaching on wellbeing, employability, and global citizenship into the heart of our curricula, and to teach in ways that allow students to contribute to inclusive and decolonised practices. Julie will encourage us to reflect on what it means to be a psychologically literate teacher, in terms of practical pedagogy, modelling, and authenticity.
