It is with great pride that I announce that my latest book is now available for order from the fine folks at Onus Books!<\/p>\n

Amazon link – paperback<\/a> \/ ebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As you may remember from a prior post<\/a>\u00a0(which includes an exclusive excerpt, go read it if you haven’t already!), this text\u00a0is the culmination of about 10 years worth of work by myself and my co-editor\/co-author. Dr. Charles Abramson. Clocking in at around 400 pages, the book consists of both original and reprinted works. The original chapters focus on the history of scientific sexism and racism, as well as providing guides on how to conduct and evaluate comparative research. We are also reprinting 22 articles which date from 1895-1930 as illustrations of how \u201cscientific\u201d research was used to help further the ideologies of racism, sexism, and eugenics. A number of critical thinking and teaching exercises are also included, as well as a selection of classic quotes demonstrating how even some of the most well respected figures in psychology demonstrated (to us) deplorable attitudes towards outgroup members.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am extremely proud of the finished product, and cannot wait to get feedback from my fine readers here on GPS. The Kindle edition in particular is a steal at under 10 bucks, so go grab you one!<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an important contribution to the literature in psychology regarding a very uncomfortable time in our history. I applaud the authors for taking on this challenging topic <\/span><\/strong>and shining light on this dark time in the history of social science.\u201d <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
