Corrupting The Youth: Teaching of Psychology

Hi, Corrupters! ****the following show notes were generated using GhatGPT****Today, we're delving into a hot topic in education— the use of generative AI in college courses. As technology continues to advance, educators are faced with the decision of integrating artificial intelligence into their teaching methods. In this episode, we'll be discussing the pros and cons of using generative AI in higher education. We also broach the question - is there a middle ground? We explore how educators can strike a balance between leveraging generative AI and maintaining a human touch in education. We also discuss the importance of adequately training educators to navigate and maximize the benefits of AI integration.-Cassie & Jacob Music: East Side Manhattan by Popoi | https://soundcloud.com/popoimusic Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Hi, corrupters!  We know it is just the beginning of the fall semester, but we are already thinking about student evaluations! In this one we talk about what they are, the purpose they serve, where they could maybe use some improvement. Love them or hate them, student evaluations play an important role in the academic job. What are your thoughts on how to use them to improve your pedagogy?-Cassie  Music: East Side Manhattan by Popoi | https://soundcloud.com/popoimusic Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

_____________________________________________________________________________Hello beautiful people!  In this episode, Cassie and I acknowledge the passage of time (our pt. 2 episode was recorded months apart from pt. 1. As such, we are coming into the topic with fresh eyes. We reflect on our experiences being on the job market. August/September is usually the start of the job hunting season where jobs get posted. Cassie talks about the questions you should have and gives dating advice while Jacob wonders if we have any listeners who are jerks. We talk about how the first interview is a unique opportunity for you as an applicant as well as go over the “job talks” you give. We share resources that helped us tread the waters to stay on top of your applications. Lastly, we tell about our experiences for both the 1st interview as well our the 2nd, in-person interview. This journey is a tricky one and we hope we can shed some light onto it.-JacobResources mentioned:  Job Application - Tracking Sheet from Dr. Cassie Whitt: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wrlLbMCMv8tnZSJy_YjjjmCT7sgeGqbo/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103527985203401271150&rtpof=true&sd=truePsychology Jobs Wiki: http://psychjobsearch.wikidot.com/2021The Professor Is In [Blog Site]: https://theprofessorisin.com/Agency by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Our new podcast trailer! :) Welcome to Corrupting the Youth!

Hi, corrupters!   It’s been a while, but we are back…hopefully with a more consistent posting schedule! Today’s episode was recorded a few months ago but involves some big personal updates from Jacob and me. If you couldn’t tell from our new intro…we both got new jobs! And thinking about jobs, that’s what we will be covering in the next 2 episodes! We will be covering job market prep, how to apply to an academic position, and even how to find academic jobs. Early career folks and grad students – this episode is for you! -Cassie  Resources mentioned:  King-Smith (2021): https://bmcproc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12919-021-00207-6CourseHero Teaching Grant: https://tinyurl.com/29pdjcu7SPSP Career Center: https://spsp.org/professional-development/career-centerThe Chronicle of Higher Education: https://www.chronicle.com/HigherEd Jobs: https://www.higheredjobs.com/Psychology Jobs Wiki: http://psychjobsearch.wikidot.com/2021Music: East Side Manhattan by Popoi | https://soundcloud.com/popoimusic Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Hi, corrupters!  We know, we know. It’s been a long time since you’ve really heard from us.

Hi, corrupters!    We are so excited to publish this week’s episode in which we interview Dr. Summer Braun – an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Alabama. Dr. Braun’s program of research primarily focuses on understanding the associations between teachers’ occupational health and well-being and their students’ social, emotional, and behavioral development using a variety of methodological approaches. Her work bridges research and practice by studying interventions designed to support the well-being of teachers and students, such as mindfulness-based wellness programs. In this episode, we chat about teachers’ well-being, the effects of mindfulness practices, and even do a mindfulness body-scan activity! This is probably our most interactive episode yet!

Hello hello beautiful people, Long time no listen! While the Fall semester heated up Cassie and I needed to cool down – but we’re back! In this episode, we interview one of Cassie’s mentors from her undergraduate days, Dr. Jon Gore. Dr. Gore is faculty at Eastern Kentucky University. Not only does he have a prolific lab that engages undergraduates in research, he is also an accomplished hip-hop artist and creative writer who is on his 24th book! In this episode, he shares his wisdom on leading a student-driven lab, discusses his research (on the self, goal motivation, and even dreams), critiques the traditional text-test format, and how to vet RAs and build a healthy personal life + lab culture. We hope you enjoy 😊 Jacob Note: There are some audio issues towards the 52-54 minute mark, so if you hear some odd noises, its not you, it’s us ~ Dr. Gore’s Faculty Page: https://psychology.eku.edu/people/gore#people-profile-bio Music Credit: Dedication by Ron Gelinas Chillout Lounge | https://open.spotify.com/artist/03JYfsI9Ke7JFuxHD239m2 Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com

Hello, hello, hello beautiful people,Jacob here ~ Today we have a very special interview. Cassie and I were lucky enough to work with Quoc Hoang, Director of Experiential Learning at Culverhouse College of Business within the University of Alabama. His LinkedIn profile is: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/quochhoang/)Quoc shares his unique path to his role as well as his experience mentoring people across disciplines to develop them as a leader. His approach to teaching comes from the “perspective of being an outsider”. In this episode, we talked about letting people run into walls and learning from mistakes; how to navigate your department when you lack higher-up support; how to keep your ‘inner fire’ alive; the “look-me-in-the-eye" test; and importantly, when is it time to quit?-------------------------------------------Lastly, we proudly share Quoc’s work:Quoc Hoang talks about his experiential learning work at The University of Alabama and shares what it means to receive the 2020 Judy Bonner Presidential Medallion Prize: https://youtu.be/rLc7UZokaw4A “Spot” for First-gen Studentshttps://culverhouse.ua.edu/news/2021/11/new-first-gen-hub-fostering-community-within-culverhouse/-------------------------------------------As an aside, how do you pronounce pedagogy: peda-GO-Gee or peda- gah- gee.

Hi, corrupters! We are so very excited to publish this week’s episode in which we interview Dr. Bill Chopik – an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Michigan State University. Dr. Chopik has been quite involved in the Open Science Movement, participating in large projects such as a replication report in Many Labs 5 and in organizations such as the Collaborative Replications and Education Project (CREP). He has also published work on how (and whether) to teach undergraduate students about the replication crisis.

Have you ever heard someone say, “You have to go to graduate school to get a job with a psychology degree!” …Yeah, we’ve heard that before, too. And it is NOT true! In this episode, Jacob and I talk about career advising for undergraduate students and discuss ways we can do better at preparing undergrads for the workforce. -Cassie Resources mentioned: APA (2013): https://www.apa.org/ed/precollege/about/undergraduate-major Course Hero Digital Learning grant winners: https://www.coursehero.com/faculty-club/best-lessons/teaching-grant-winners-2022/?fbclid=IwAR2F0rQ6ZxAd9XJ68KAKuHnw-Nf9yF-k_kjer5GYhg8RtmZm4llWv2MpDWM Appleby (2018): http://www.teachpsych.org/Resources/Documents/otrp/resources/appleby15students.docx Ciarocco (2018): https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-56823-007 Collisson & Eck (2022): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350824409_Oh_the_Places_You_Can_Go_Gen_Z_Psychology_Students%27_Perceived_Career_Options_and_Interests Halonen & Dunn (2018): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321536229_Embedding_Career_Issues_in_Advanced_Psychology_Major_Courses Prehar & Ignelzi (2012): https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0098628312437695?journalCode=topa Music: East Side Manhattan by Popoi | https://soundcloud.com/popoimusic Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

With a new academic year starting, so does the 2nd Season of this Podcast. After enjoying a (relatively busy) summer, Cassie and I are ready to take the podcasting world by storm. Sort of.In this episode, we catch up with what's been going on in our lives. We also dedicate this episode to bell hooks and their philosophy of "Teaching to Transgress". We talk about revolting against the status quo and how to manage students who want to use the classroom as their personal therapy session. Notably, I am not entirely convinced by all of hooks' claims (i.e., using sexual/libido energy as part of education).Hope you enjoy our discussion,Jacob/////////////Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom by bell hooksFree PDF offered by the University of TX:chromeextension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://sites.utexas.edu/lsjcs/files/2018/02/Teaching-to-Transcend.pdfPedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo FreireFree PDF offered by UCSC:chromeextension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://envs.ucsc.edu/internships/internship-readings/freire-pedagogy-of-the-oppressed.pdf///////////////////Sakura 2020 by Roa Music | https://soundcloud.com/roa_music1031 Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Hey Corrupters, Jacob and I have been chatting a lot about mental health recently, and we'd thought it'd make for a good podcast topic, too. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do as a teacher to best support your students as they struggle with mental health issues, and given the mental health crisis in higher education, we are sure this is something a lot of instructors think about. We hope these stories and pieces of advice help! -Cassie Resources mentioned: Ayala et al. (2017): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5678442/Lee et al.

Hi, Corrupters! Happy belated April Fool’s Day! In that spirit, in this week’s (hopefully) entertaining episode, Jacob and I discuss some of the times we looked like complete idiots in front of our students. Related to that, we also talk about some things not to do as a teacher.

Hi again, Corrupters! This week Jacob and I have a frank discussion about burnout in academia. One topic we touch on is compassionate teaching and how it's important but can be exhausting, especially considering the backdrop of our current world.

Hey there, corrupters! (Is that, like, a cool name to call our listeners or is it cringe?? Please let me know.)In this episode, Jacob and I discuss being queer and what it means for us as teachers and academics working in higher education. As some of you probably know, being LGBTQIA+ isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and we talk about methods of cultivating safer, happier spaces for queer students. We also spend some time talking about the need for substantive, intersectional advocacy, and barriers we often face.Whether you’re queer, an ally, or someone who is figuring things out, we hope this episode gives you some stuff to think about and reflect on.See you in the next one!-CassieResources Mentioned:The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/Data Feminism: https://data-feminism.mitpress.mit.edu/Clark & Hatfield (1989): http://www2.hawaii.edu/~elaineh/79.pdfConceptual replication of Clark & Hatfield (1989): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7489590_Clark_and_Hatfield%27s_Evidence_of_Women%27s_Low_Receptivity_to_Male_Strangers%27_Sexual_Offers_RevisitedTrolley problem website: https://www.moralmachine.net/Music: East Side Manhattan by Popoi | https://soundcloud.com/popoimusic Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Cassie here (finally)!In this episode, Jacob and I chat about incentive structures in academia, and how it often feels like research is viewed as more important – and a more admirable skill – than teaching. We tackle questions like: What are some ways we can combat the current incentive structure that doesn’t always reward innovative pedagogy? And how do deal with our personal feelings about this?Thanks for listening!-CassieResources mentioned:1) Society for the Teaching of Psychology: https://teachpsych.org/2) FORRT: https://forrt.org/ Music: Acoustic Folk Background Guitar | FOLK by Alex-Productions | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx0M61F81Nfb-BRXE-SeVA Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.enUS
