Title: Engaging Boys: challenging perceptions of psychology!
In this workshop, Patrick and Charlotte will share findings from research conducted in collaboration with the University of Lincoln Pre‑Degree Psychology Teaching Committee, focusing on gender disparities within psychology. The research explores the perceptions of psychology that may contribute to the under‑representation of boys and young men on psychology courses. The workshop will also showcase student‑created social media memes designed to challenge and address common misconceptions about the discipline.
