  • So much more than a podcast!

    Psychsessions helped me figure out how to teach college classes! It is a community of psychology teachers, coming together in pairs or small groups, to share their teaching philosophies and strategies, to problem solve and discuss career paths, and so much more. This podcast has been a lifeline as I navigate the world of college teaching - a solo, sometimes isolated endeavor done very publicly. It gave me the confidence to try new things and speak up for change - because I knew there were other... more

  • A+ for content and accessibility

    Teaching conferences are amazing, but they are sometimes cost or time prohibitive. Fortunately, PsychSessions brings SO much of what you’d get at a conference to you, in bite-sized chunks. The hosts are fabulous, some of the best pedagogical wizards out there, and they work very hard to bring in knowledgeable guests across a diverse array of topics. A real gem of a podcast!

  • Great for learning and networking!

    The first time I listened to PsychSessions, I was on my way to a teaching conference. I picked Jane Halonen’s first episode. And when I got to the conference, who did I meet but Jane Halonen? I found that I could enter right into a conversation with her, because I learned so much about who she is as a teacher and a person from that one PsychSessions interview. So this is now my practice! If I hope to bump into/meet someone at a conference, I listen to their episode on the way there, which serves... more
