'I Am Psyched!' Exhibit at 成人抖阴April 28-May 10
SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University hosts the national touring exhibit “I Am Psyched!” April 28-May 10, in the Pocomoke Room of the Guerrieri Student Union.
Created by the American Psychological Association’s Women’s Programs Office, in partnership with the University of Akron’s Drs. Nicholas and Dorothy Cummings Center for the History of Psychology and the Psychology’s Feminist Voices Oral History and Digital Archive Project, “I Am Psyched!” originated as part of the Smithsonian Institution’s “Museum Day Live!” event in 2016.
Exploring the historical and contemporary contributions of women of color to the field of psychology, the multimedia installation is believed to be the first exhibit to engage all visitors — especially young women of color — to consider careers in the field and to explore how psychology benefits their everyday lives. The “I am Psyched!” National Tour at 成人抖阴will focus specifically on the idea that the future of psychology is strengthened by the inclusion of diverse people and ideas.
